Barrack-Buster

An improvised mortar system used by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), an Irish guerilla group, against the British army and Police in the six British-controlled counties in the north of Ireland. So-called due to the major damage they caused against army and police barracks.

Also known as the "flying car bomb"...
