Thought it was clear, gunpowder doesn't make things explode, Gunny does.RatGouf said:#40
Sword sliced through Tank Bullets & nothing happens.

Sword stabs Tank Bullet then Gunny squeezes the Tank Bullet causing it to explode.

I have no idea how gunpowder works....
Depending on the explosive, it's not always that easy to set them off, and for sure a shearing force from a sword wouldn't d o it. Gunny compressed the primer at the base which sets off the explosives. Not sure if compression like that would set off a primmer or if it's the percussive force that triggers the chemical reaction, but it's fantasy so oh wellRatGouf said:#40

Holy crap, I never noticed that. Now I'm going to have to go back and re-read all of the strips in this to see what his expression is. I wish master chief had that much facial expression.RJ 17 said:Ahhhh I still love how Gunny is always so perfectly angled so that the bottom line of his visor can be a stand-in for his mouth, thus giving a man whose expression we cannot see a surprising amount of expressive ability.
Like that "Hehehe, fuck you" smile he gives in the 3rd-to-last panel. :3
You'll find that the visor line does indeed carry the "expression" one would assume he'd have considering his personality/what's being discussed/what's going on. It's a clever little art-trick that they're pulling off. Someone else noticed it in one of the first few comics that he was featured in, and ever since then it's been standing out to me.flying_whimsy said:Holy crap, I never noticed that.

See, this is why Gunny can't masturbate: his hands crush steel and set off primer charges.
