Victor Suvorov's book, "Spetnaz", starts off with a description of how
the Spetnaz troops are taught to throw thier entrenching tools with great
accuracy under a wide variety of unfavorable conditions.  The reason is
' If you raise your gun, the sentry will try to shoot.  If you throw your
shovel, the sentry will try to duck.'
(pardon my spelling)
