A BRITISH solider who ran our of ammo during a gruelling six-hour gun battle with ISIS reportedly used a spade to decapitate a jihadi.
The SAS trooper is said to have picked up the shovel to use as a weapon when the fighter charged and cut-off his head with one blow.
The soldiers were locked in the vicious gun battle for six hours and began to run low on bullets.
They radioed their base to call for air support but could not determine if their message got through.
“The SAS thought they had seen their last day.
“They made a pact that they wouldn’t be taken alive and vowed to fight to the death.
“Capture would mean torture and a filmed execution and they weren’t prepared to let that happen.
“They made every bullet count and when they ran low on ammo they waited for the jihadis to get close enough so they could be killed with grenades or using rifles as clubs – that was when one of the SAS managed to kill a man with a spade.”
Luckily two US Apache helicopter gunships appeared and forced the insurgents to retreat.
Were the jihadis out of bullets too? What was the savage doing charging the soldier? Story seems slightly off to me. I hope it’s true, though.

If you don’t get an answer, you probably didn’t.
“The SAS thought they had seen their last day.”
Uhhh, not very likely with these guys. They’ll kill you in their sleep, much less yours.
“They made a pact that they wouldn’t be taken alive and vowed to fight to the death.”
This reeks. SAS in a fight always fights to the death, your or their’s, unless they got told to snatch your ass and bring it back breathing. Far as “pacts” being made, they did that when they joined the unit.
Just image, that filthy Muslim was so pumped up with murder in his heart that when the latrine shovel separated his head from his body he squirted blood from his stump for at least 20 yards. That story makes my day.
Wow. That formatting above just got way wrong. Sorry about that mess.
In the “Ol Corps” we called ’em “E Tools”. I made some great callus on my palms and fingers using an “E Tool”.Gutted some Chinks with a bayonet but never used an E Tool as a weapon. it had a nice spike on the other side of the blade; which would go through a Chink’s head; if needed. And I would have done just that if I had had to!
Like I said, I love the story.
I just think it’s written poorly, and leaves aholes like myself wondering why there was hand to hand combat when the story is about how the Brits ran low on bullets.
When you can’t keep a gun in the car
an entrenching tool is always handy.
They were a favorite weapon in Trench
Warfare. The edges were kept sharp
and at close quarters where a rifle
with a bayonet was too clumsy the
sharp little shovel did the job.
Just waiting to read a follow-up article about how some SJW filed a lawsuit against the soldier for being an Islamophobe.
The SAS seems to get in a lot of jams where they have to use muscle-driven steel. I think they lie about being out of ammo.
I read that SAS has been tasked with eliminating British ISIS members in the field before they can return home.
SAS……the baddest of the bad. I genuflect in their general direction.
SAS are some of the best warriors in the real Military world.
Stallone once got a paper cut writing a movie script in the safety of his $4 million dollar mansion.
No comparison between real warriors and an actor.
And I use the word actor in the most liberal sense.
Firefights do decay to melees sometimes as both sides run low on ammo. Then it gets down to badassary and the ability to intimidate the opponent. One group of US Marines took to carrying tomahawks, which scared the balls off of the TaliBunnies they encountered. The E-tool was observed to be one of the best melee weapons ever, starting in WW1. I, for one, keep on in every vehicle for the reasons sighted above.
John nailed it. My grandfather fought in the trenches in WWI and when it came to close quarters combat, entrenching tools with razor sharp edges were much preferred over the unwieldy long bayonets they had back then.
