I'm might happy I never joined the military. I'm sure there's lots of good, but also a lot of fuckups with weaponry.

how long does a grenade have before it blows and how long did it feel like? |

I only had to toss a live grenade once and that was, interesting. If I recall how it was supposed to go it was hold it tight to your chest, grenade in dominant hand, support hand on the pin. Pull pin. Bring throwing arm back making sure not to let the spoon fly out and chuck that sumbitch. That was supposed to be separate steps following the coach's directions. I did all that stuff, but in one smooth sequence. As soon as that pin cleared my brain went autopilot on me and said, "get that fuckin thing away from you, dumbass!" I did, chucked it hard immediately. Coach tackled me into the safety pit and chewed my ass. Looked like this, but with more distance.

Haha, nope. if a grenade gets dropped in a bay, you grab the troop, toss them around the corner and jump on top of them.

Not sure if still the same but the ones we used were on a 7 second fuse. Sounds like loads of time but by the time you realize what happened and react you have easily chewed up most of that. The best action is to get the hell out.

Grenades are by far the one thing that actually scares me in the military. Not much room for error, and when you fuck up, the results can be catastrophic. I'll stick to 105mm projectiles. At least those don't blow up in the barrel much anymore. |
