Outsourcing!!

Bangalore Torpedoes or Bangalores are anti-personnel mine clearing charges originally used during WWII. Bangalores were first used extensively by invading Allied troops during the Normandy D-Day Invasion during WWII, and quickly got a reputation both for their tremendous explosive power, and for their danger to the troops who had to handle them! The torpedoes were developed by the Indian Army engineers at Bangalore, hence the name.

In 'Saving Private Ryan' you do hear the soldiers yelling "Bangalores".
