MK3 grenade

The MK3 offensive hand grenade is a cylindrical concussion grenade designed to produce casualties during close combat while minimizing danger to friendly personnel exposed in the open owing to minimal fragmentation. There is a secondary fragmentation hazard though from rocks, gravel, wood splinters, glass, etc. The grenade is also used for concussion effects in enclosed areas, for blasting, or for demolition tasks. The shock waves (overpressure) produced by this grenade when used in enclosed areas are greater than those produced by the fragmentation grenade. It is, therefore, very effective against enemy soldiers located in bunkers, buildings, and fortified areas. It is commonly known as the "concussion" or "demo" (from demolition) grenade.

The first version was created in March, 1918. It was designed to be used during trench assaults to knock out bunkers and clear trenches without producing fragmentation that could injure the user or friendly forces nearby.

There are three variants: the basic MK3, the MK3A1, and the MK3A2. They differ in their construction and the type of fuse used. They were designated Mk III (Roman numbers) prior to 2 April 1945.

Baby Won't Ya

by: MC5

Oh come on, it's all over, over here
I sat up here in my window lookin' down on the street
A strychnine poison woman, man don't you look so sweet
Well I said come on up and see me sometime
I'm just a drunken sailor but I'm feelin' so fine
I've been out sailin' on the seven seas, baby won't you give it to me? Oh
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone, baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout? You know what I'm talkin' about
Baby won't ya drive me wild? Baby let me see you smile
Watching you, it's alright now
For now I see all the sickly, salty swingers standin' on a bathroom floor
Slidin' and glidin' as she passed by my window
She was a female mercenary comin' home from war
The ultimate inflection of the word perfection
I thought I'd drop by to say, "Hi"
Sweetly, serenely, she showed me her gun, baby let's go get high, oh
Baby won't ya drive me wild? Baby let me see you smile
Baby won't ya please come here? Baby don't ya have no fear
Baby won't ya scratch my back? Baby don't ya leave me mad
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me be mad
Come on, get down
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, well, come on now
I sat down to the matters at hand, tryin' to find a way to beat the heat
Outside my window was a bunch of tipsy gypsys
Dancin' up and down the street
The lovely senorita took me by my hand
She said, "Oh, baby won't you be my man?"
I'll get yours and you'll get mine, baby let's have a good time
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone, baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout? You know what I'm talking about
Baby won't ya drive me wild? Baby let me see you smile
Baby won't ya please come here? Baby don't ya have no fear
Baby let me hold your hand, baby let me be your man
Baby won't ya scratch my back? Baby don't ya leave me mad
Baby won't you [Incomprehensible], baby won't you [Incomprehensible]
Baby won't ya drive me mad? Baby don't ya let me feel bad
Baby don't ya leave me alone, baby won't ya carry me home?
Baby won't ya jump and shout? You know what I'm talkin' about
