A border dispute that goes back to the time of the British Colonial Raj in 1860 has boiled over into open combat between Chinese PLA troops the Indian that resulted in multiple deaths and injuries for the first time since 1975. Apparently neither side allows their soldiers to carry firearms in an attempt to keep things from escalating.
However that does not stop stop them from using rocks and other Close Combat Impact weapons. I'd put up a picture of one of the weapons used by the PLA troops directly, but I don't want to run afoul of any Copyright infringement laws. The picture will come right up when you click on the Articlr link from Yahoo news.
It looks like it's straight out of WW1 Trench Warfare.
Some things never change.
