On my Navy ship we used M-14 rifles with cup- style grenade launcher, firing the big rubber bullet with light line. We received once from the tanker, and one of my shipmates took it to the chest, he hadn't taken cover. Knocked him to the deck! He gained the nickname "Flounder". Only thing hurt was his pride.
