A friend of mine was in an airborne unit pre-Vietnam. During a practice like this, a parachute on one of the Jeeps they were dropping failed to deploy. The Jeep had an M40 recoilless rifle mounted on it and the rifle just about cut the jeep in 2 pieces. They got their asses chewed out royally, despite no proof that they did anything wrong. Chewed out or not, everybody thought it was a pretty cool amount of damage to see.
