And while we have Paul's attention: Have you ever considered the melee weapon capacity of an entrenching tool? If "All Quiet on the Western Front" can be believed, it is a formidable weapon. Another source I came across, a plaque in our Soldiers' Grove park behind the Penna Capitol Building, tells of an American Korean War soldier who was decorated for actions taken while all the rest of his unit was incapacitated. He kept up rifle fire until out of ammo, then waited for the enemy to creep up an pop their head over the embrasure--when each did, the soldier killed him with his entrenching tool. And he got quite a few this way--nine seems to stick in my mind, but I may not be remembering clearly. From my own use of WW2 GI entrenching tool while camping and yard-working, I have come to the conclusion that I wouldn't feel unarmed while wielding it.

I think I have an E-Tool on my site but...let me look to be sure. It may be a modern E-Tool instead of an older one or Eastern-type.
