Trivia

  • The tool's real-life counterpart is the U.S. Army M-1943 entrenching tool, used to dig foxholes or trenches for cover.
  • According to the Mac Update comic, the Soldier's Shovel is highly flammable, will spontaneously catch fire, and can barely dig holes due to it being a Mann Co. product.
