4. Polka or Polish mortar 60 mm.

It's a terrible thing. This mortar is almost inaudible when it goes off, and there is no hiss - just an overhead pop.

The mine is small, its shirt produces very razor sharp and thin plate-like fragments. Unlike heavy fractures, these do not "press", they actually cut.

Such a thin petal flies into the calf muscle - you don't even feel pain at first. You just feel something warm running down your leg. You look and there is a neat cut, like a chisel, only deeper. And they just don't know how to burn a wound, because they are light and cool down quickly. A lot of blood comes out, be healthy, here the tourniquet or tourniquet should be reversed without hesitation.

5. Heavy artillery (152/155 mm) and mortar 120.

Here we immediately forget about "burnt" and "a small group". A fragment of the 152nd shell is a jagged, jagged piece of iron the size of a brick matchbox, flying with such kinetics that it simply breaks bones with a shock wave.

If a large fragment comes from heavy art, it does not make neat holes. He tears off a piece of meat along with the form. The wound is torn, the edges are uneven, there is crushed tissue around. And besides, it gives you such a concussion that for the first five minutes you don't even understand what world you're in, a children's choir is singing in your ears, and yoshka is dripping from your nose. There is no time for humor here - here the medicine works in full, with promadol, tamponade and a quick pedal movement for evacuation.

6. Strelkovka: 5.45 against 7.62.

Well, a few words about pills.

5.45 (AK-74) - The capricious girl. The projectile is light, with a shifted center of gravity. It flies neatly into the shoulder, but inside it meets a bone or muscle, panics, begins to collapse and flies out somewhere in the shoulder blade or liver area, breaking everything in its path. Entry is a match, exit is a punch.

7.62 (AKM or PKM) - Old school gentleman. Heavy ball. She doesn't care about branches or your muscles. He flies in and goes straight through.
