Without fuzes, which are only screwed in just before firing, modern artillery shells are really difficult to set off.

If you think about it, the act of firing a shell out of a cannon and sending it miles away is pretty violent, but the shells don’t explode in the cannon.

Without the correct fuzes, the shells won’t even explode when they land.

That makes sense. I think I might still be a little unnerved.

I would absolutely love it. Used to be an FLO and all I can say is carrying a stack of HE Shells would be stress free. Nobody rushing you or even being remotely discourteous. A team of escorts tackling anyone that even looks in the direction of my path, let alone attempts to walk in the way…

I mean, the nice thing about screwing this up is that you’d be dead before you ever realized you screwed up.
