- lengths of threaded pipe, one of which contained the explosive charge
Couldn't several lengths in a row be filled with explosive, to clear a path through a wide minefield or wire obstacle? —Michael Z. 2005-10-24 14:25 Z

This is the form I am familiar with from my experience in Nam, where we used it to clear not wire but weeds growing around the perimeter of fire bases, in order to improve visibility.
