The rifle went bang! and the recoil jarred it loose from my grip. The rifle smacked me hard in the jaw. With that, I went down on my face while the little bluebirds started going tweet, tweet, tweet around my head.--'Did I hit it?' I asked.--'Yeah, you hit it, ' Flash said. 'The damn thing just didn't work.'--We finally ran into somebody from another unit, a guy who really understood how the new style grenade was supposed to work. We explained our misfortune to him, and he asked us did you pull the firing pin out . . . The god damn pin!\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GLOBE PEQUOT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47673665093684,"sku":"9781493096855","price":51.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9781493096855","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
