    2:39 Yea, it was not actually designed to be fired on the knee/leg. There's reports of Allied soldiers breaking their knees/femurs/etc trying to foolishly fire this from the knee, lol. It's actually called a Type 89 Grenade Discharger by the Japanese. The term "knee mortar" was just an ignorant nickname the Allied troops came up with making false assumptions based on looking at the curved baseplate. Not saying I blame them lacking proper knowledge about it, since Allied troops weren't exactly briefed on how to use captured Japanese equipment back then. Just saying it's a widely spread myth based on that nickname they came up with from making assumptions without proper information.

    I love Craig but I prefer TekiDanto as Knee Mortar was erroneously used by the Allies thinking it was propped against the leg and fired but if u did that you'd most likely end up with very bruised leg or knee or even worse broken bones...im surprised Craig called it that without explaining the misnomer but no one's perfect..and did Craig say he'd sell it for 19.95 as in well $19.95!?

    Rick never lets people make a price, it has to be his price no matter what. i am sure if he said $90 and someone asked $91 he would still say no because he has to have the last say in money no matter what.

    If I brought something in and knew that they would call in an expert, I’d never tell them what I wanted for the item until the “expert” said the value of it

      That actually happens sometimes, when the person has no idea what their item is worth.

    I'd be seriously surprised if you actually had to cut a hole or put a bore impingement on that to have it it relies on specialty munitions to work...... It's legal to own all kind of launchers that are modern because you can't get the munitions
