The lines in this post about double-taping the banana clips caught my
interest - an almost exact copy of the dialog appears in Tom Clancy's
(apologies for linking TC and le Carre in any way) Patriot Games where
Ryan asks sometihng along the lines of "why did the machine gunner stop
firing" and is told "he taped two magazines together like they do in the
movies; something we were taught never to do in the paras - and it jammed"
