Just a Face and a Caption: Satchel Charge

The important part of the trope is that the satchel is loaded with explosives, which isn't apparent here.

Agreed, this isn't nearly illustrative enough.

Pull.

Detonate it.

Pull.

Blow it up.

It's defused.

The one who launched the trope and provided the original image here. Kind of sad to see said original image go like that. But what's done is done, I guess.

So, for a candidate for a replacement image, would this image suffice? It's from a US Army training manual on the M37 Demolition Kit, the example listed in the trope's Real Life section.

If this proposal can't be posted here, could I at least be redirected to which exact discussion this should be redirected to?

Edit: Here's a potentially better cropped version, with the text being more detailed.

Only issue I have with the candidate is that the text is a bit hard to see, would be good to zoom/crop so the words are more visible. Not sure if there are any regulations that I'm missing so pending feedback.

I like the crop, and I think the pic works. The only other thing is that you should also crop empty spaces at the top and bottom of the image.

I'll go with it.

That's more clear, so pending other ideas.

to the improved and edited image. Way better than the original version.

So, is that enough approvals to officially make the improved image the new page image for this trope?

for the updated image.

Yeah, that's enough consensus. It's in and the tag's updated; caption?

Just make sure it doesn't get shot while you carry it.
