??opular regimentation??or the ??eople?? militia??(Narodnoe Opolcheniye or Opolchenie) is a Russian tradition dating back to the 16th century and a powerful part of the national heritage. In times of more→emergency, a militia was selected from volunteers to serve alongside the regular army and defend their homes.

The Ampulomet was a strange mortar-like device which threw a glass ball containing a mix of phosphorus and sulphur up to 400 yards albeit inaccurately.
