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 well .RatGouf 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
