    army lunchbox/mess tin etc

    So my boy needs a lunch box, mum has brought a plastic piece of crap that lasted as expected.
    So she found a metal kids lunch box for $50.
    I reckon there must be a military one that would be great for bashing the other lunch boxes into oblivion.

    Anyone seen one?

    cheers
    Use enough gun

    An excellent anti-bully weapon as well, a school bag with one of them in it would lay the biggest bully down...box could also be used for the bully to sit on till the ambo got there.

    Can of coke would be for revival or celebration purposes after being sconed by a metal ammo box.

    A can of coke is so last year. A softball in dads sock is less likely to have been drunk before needed.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    From what I know of British / Commonwealth /American WW 2 the problem , as i see it is that when in the field, the squaddies did not "go off to work " with a packed lunch. The scenarios were :

    1..They carried a mess tins which were basically nothing more than two bowls one fitting inside the other size about 13cm x 16cm x60 cm A Small amount of fodder could be stored within. Piccie of Brit/ Comm welath tins. teh yanks used the same concept but theirs were oval "ish."

    and the cooks sloshed the fodder into the mess tins.

    2...If not supported by cooks, they carried meals or rations in small cardboard box /paper wrapping/ tins and cooked/ ate from their mess tins.


    There are many sturdy metal containers used by the military but then there are also many sturdy containers commercially made. Tin biscuit boxes spring to mind as they coema in a wide range of shapes/ sizes. i.e

    So far its looking like an ammo tin, only thing is that it needs multiple compartments for different things that she puts in there.
    Probably weld in some dividers etc.

    You get these organiser inserts for a .50 can from MTM ( they make the green plastic ammo boxes), specifically designed to fit into a 50 can. Three layers, turns it into a small tool chest or whatever
