Used short handle mauls in Iraq
I was able to get some short handled mauls in Iraq for use in my armored vehicles.
We velcroed them to the transmission humps within easy reach of everyone.
They were intended (and used on two occasions) to break OUT of an overturned armored vehicle.
They were great for smashing the ballistic glass out of windows to extract personnel.
Additionally, the axe edge was good for chopping at the metal frames of doors/windows, etc.
Handy implements.
Sorry I have no pictures, but the heads were similar in size and shape to the splitting mauls available here in the US, but with a short handle.
