| As the torpedo struck her forward magazine, the explosion blew away all the fore-end structure below the waterline. |
| With a true splinter fore-end, the shooter is cradling the barrels rather than the stock. |

| His extra shirt, instead of being wadded into the fore-end of the saddlebag on top of a pair of socks, had been stuffed into the hinder end on top of a pair of underdrawers. |

| The shooting hand holds the rifle above the pistol grip and the fore-end of the stock is cradled in the crook of the left arm. |
