1-3 DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE — CONTINUED
A second method is to close the breechblock, elevate the tube, and toss several thermite grenades down the tube.
Elevate the tube so that the grenades will fall against the breechblock. This will melt the breech and the powder chamber,
causing them to fuse together.
