Many who grew up in the era of the USSR remember what delicious fruits grew in collective farm gardens. However, getting access to juicy apples was not so easy. The thunderstorm of the Soviet children was a watchman, armed with a gun loaded with salt. Of course, not in all collective farms this measure was practiced by watchmen, and, as a rule, there was no damage to health. But pleasant is not enough. As it turns out, the salt was not used ordinary, but one might say special.

Indeed, such cartridges existed and were specially prepared. In fact, this is an ordinary cartridge, only it was not shot that was poured into it, but lick salt intended for livestock. It is a coarse crystalline salt with a bluish-gray tint. Salt crystals are similar in appearance to rice grains in both size and shape.

Salt screening is applied to a specific fraction. The approximate size of the crystals should be like fraction # 2 or slightly larger. Not a wad was laid over the salt, but a pad (it should be light).

The target was hit at a distance of up to fifteen meters. They must shoot below the level of the head, moreover, from behind. In this case, there is practically no harm to health: it is unpleasant, but not critical. If the salt gets directly into the face, then the person may be disabled.

Salt crystals are capable of tearing even denim, and there is no need to talk about summer thin things. So clothes will not protect you from upbringing with salt. Crystals penetrate into the skin by about two to four millimeters. And since the salt dissolves in the body, there is a burning sensation and severe pain.

Surgical assistance in this case will not be needed. Usually they got out of the situation in another way. Since the watchman usually aimed at the "fifth point" (well, for prophylaxis), it was with this place that the victim was seated in a basin filled with hot water. It was necessary to sit in this saving "pond" until the salt dissolves. Now this method of education is unacceptable. Firstly, the fines are large, and secondly, the gunman can simply be dragged through the courts by the parents.
