i remember hearing tales of chinese being forced to get on there knees and dig a large whole in front of them at gun point. they're oppressors would then shoot them in the back of the head, thus knocking them into there grave. truly a shame that this technology wasn't available back then.
i used to have a shovel just like that, i found it in someones garbage, it even came with a blade cover for when it was folded up... probably the coolest thing i have ever seen
it cant be a screw driver which is pretty useful. also they stretched a ton of those like boat oar. i was getting ready for it to say ping pong paddle hahah.
look really closely at 2:03-2:04, the dude has a massive cut in his hand, looks like the shovel itself is great as far as functionality goes, but they suck at using it
while on the subject i was watching deadliest warrior the other month and they were comparing russian special forces with green beret. In close combat the russians' chose a balistics knife and the army guys chose the shovel. i thought both choices where ridiculous. someone embeb this shit if you feel like it (the shovel fight is at 2:05)
