Dumbest military weapons

My favourite was the Northover projector with No 76 SIP glass bottle 'sticky' grenade issued to the Home Guard.

There were two versions of this grenade, the first designed for hand-throwing and the second, which had a green cap and slightly thicker glass was designed for firing from the Northover Projector.

If not handled correctly, this was an extremely dangerous grenade. It was not unknown for the grenade to burst either in or as it left the Northover Projector barrel.
