Deadly new grenade tested by American army in Manila
Report claims First Lieutenant William B. Mapes of the Twenty-fifth Infantry invented a nine inch long grenade packed with gun cotton. The device is hurled like a slingshot, disperses forty bullets in a ground burst, and can be carried safely by a soldier for use in combat near Manila. Mapes, a New Yorker by birth and Nebraskan by adoption, also created the poncho pon t gear that floats four men's equipment.
