Default The 5 Most Epic One Man Rampages In the History Of War

"When pushed too far, some men shut down completely, cry or rail against the unjust God that inflicted such dire times upon them. And some men, when they reach their breaking points as human beings, opt instead to transcend the limitations of the human form, channel hellfire through their palms and bring the entire world crashing down around them."

Singh picked up his submachine gun and charged up alone toward the AZN position. The rest of his section (10 or so men) provided covering fire. He miraculously made it all the way up the path while bellowing "Raja Ramchandra Ki Jai" without being killed -- despite having grenade blasts tear off most of his clothes and being the only (mostly naked, mustachioed, screaming) target on a one-man-wide path. At the top of the rocky escarpment, he jumped into a machine-gun nest and bayoneted all the occupants.
SMG, Bayonet? Must be a sten. That's like putting a bayonet on a pistol, lol. Pure awesome!

In the melee, a Japanese soldier hacked off Cairns' left arm.



After watching his own arm get lopped off, Cairns managed to kill the Japanese officer, retrieve the man's sword with his one remaining arm and, sustained solely by his righteous anger (and possibly a ****load of shock), storm right back up that goddamn hill to deal with that son of a bitch's friends. As Cairns advanced in front of the rest of the Chindits, still swinging that Katana at anything that moved, he killed and wounded several Japanese soldiers. He kept right on chopping until the blood loss from the hemorrhaging stump got the better of him and he collapsed and died.
One can only imagine that scene

The only reason he stopped killing ... was because he ran out of blood.

Leave it to the Brits to call a pointy metal poker thing a bayonet...

The Germans on the other hand... they knew how to make gun cutlery...

There is a bayonet that says I'm going to stab you and the dude behind you too!

Also leave it to the British to call a hunk of scrap metal put together in someone's garage a SMG...
