Mind you he also told me some of them would get a bulls dick and hang a bucket of water on it ( after it's been removed from the bull) and twist it as it dried to make a stock stick might have been a cock and bull story but he seemed serious telling it at the time ( which was when the rainbow warrior was bombed which didn't endear me to him and more than he had won me over with his charming personality )

The bulls dick one is true they make great stock sticks

Those older fellas from South Africa will remember the ' snot neus' single barrel guns. They fired an assortment of projectiles. One of them been 40mm rubber bullets. The trick was to have the rubber bullet hit the ground in front of the receptive and then rely on the ricochet to do it's business. I'm told that AA batteries would fit the cases too...probably bullshit though.

Heard of one of the local coppers going to Suid Afrika for a trip back in the early 90s. While he was there he thought bugger it, I'll go and see the local rozzers for a chat.
Got on great and even got envied for a drive around. Wasn't used to seeing a pump shotgun clipped ro the dash. Something also tells me they gave him a pistol and hold him to shoot anyone coming to car. Basically the locals wouldn't approach a cop car without bad intent.
Back on story there was a box of batteries in the back seat which the SA police said they would drop 1 or 2 down the barrel of the Shottie. Made a huge mess that the coroner couldn't understand. They thought it was hilarious.
Some info suggests they were taser batteries or such. There were a nice fit for the shotgun barrel
