as do .50 cals...............

and just like fustuarium and flagellatio the Romans had a lot of special treats for soft targets, wether in battle or in executions...

Has anyone ever heard of the Goat punishment??

Nope........

Roman punishment...

Put the prisoner with his feet in the block...

Rub his feet with salt

Let Goat lick....

Goat starts to nibble...

Put more salt on the feet...

Goat nibbles skin off...

put more salt on feet........

And so on.......

Question: Use of HEAT rounds counts as punishment or a combat act? (What about punishing the invader?)

Kind regards

HEAT Rounds are High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) and creat a jet of super hot plasma to cut through the metal or other armor of a hard target. You don't want to waste those rounds against an individual, in most cases. Although they do work fine against unarmored targets in a pinch. :twisted:

Forgive me. I used the term "invader" in the general sence, I should have said "invaders". I agree HEAT are to nice to be wasted.
I had the nasty thought about white phosphorus rounds and unarmored targets. :twisted: (Ok, ok sick joke I know!)

But the question remains is it battle-act or horrible punishment?

And to become serious: Even if we exclude the 90% of reported cruelty as malicious slander then, even the rest 10% is enough to consider the botomless pits of human perversion with horror.

Kind regards

The topic is about ANCIENT forms of punishment, if you want to discuss HEAT, Phosphor, Nuclear stuff and other goodies like candy and butterfly apm's start a new topic.......

OK?

BTW... in Saudi Arabia last week a Paedophile was beheaded and crucified in front of a large audience...

With which punishment they started i dont know....
