This will never not be funny. 

In September 1918, the German government issued a diplomatic protest, complaining that the Model 97 Trench Gun was illegal because “it is especially forbidden to employ arms, projections, or materials calculated to cause unnecessary suffering” as defined in the 1907 Hague Convention respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land. When the Americans rejected this, the German high command then threatened to execute any soldier caught with a Trench Gun or even just Trench Gun shells. General Pershing replied that, henceforth, any Germans caught with flamethrowers or saw-bladed bayonets would be lined up and shot.

Wait, wait, wait, they bitched about trench guns causing unnecessary suffering while setting people on fire with flamethrowers?

And gassing them.

They also game them to the hicks cowboys and rednecks so they could shoot grenades out of the sky like pigeons and if that isn’t some of the funniest shit you can imagine you’re not imagining it right

Oh it’s quite the opposite of a warcrime. As a matter of fact, soldiers on the opposite end don’t feel a God Damn thing.

*cocks shotgun* Yeehaw, Chucklefucks.
