Default Not your typical use for a Rapira AT gun...

Recently a wellhead fire at a Siberian oil field was so difficult to deal with that the Ministry of Defence sent a Rapira & crew to assist. The AT gun was used to knock the wellhead off the pipework (by destroying the concrete foundation in which the wellhead is embedded).
