what are you supposed to do protocol-wise if you see a grenade?
my idea was that you yell GRENAAAAAAAAAAADE
and then you jump for cover i guess. but in reality you would probably be dead from the shrapnel penetrating everything around you.
>>29356306
Just find one on the ground? Or see one get tossed into the room?
For the first ATF LOL NO GRENADES, the second, lay flat on the floor, hopefully behind some kind of cover, and as far away from the grenade as possible.
>>29356327
what if you try to grab it and throw it back out the window?
So if you guys just SEE a grenade you jump for cover?
Jesus Christ you guys are pussies. Don't go into an army surplus store. They have deactivated grenades everywhere.
Well, if you're fighting Poles; pick it up pull the pin and throw it back.
>>29356340
You're certainly welcome to, but there aren't a whole lot of official protocols for that given it's way more risky.
>>29356340
Live grenade? You die.
Paper weight? You look like an idiot.
>>29356306
Push your friend in front of it and jump out of the way
>>29356364
that probably wouldn't do much. does meat have much resistance to pineapples?
>>29356306
Yell GRENADE! and jump for cover.
If no cover is available jump on to your stomach, facing away from the grenade.
Do not attempt to pick up the grenade and throw it back. This is not a movie. You will die.
>>29356356
Hardly. The fuze is 5-8 seconds depending on where its from. Now if you are out in the open, by all means yell "grenade" and dive on the ground. If you are in a vehicle or small room toss it away, yeah it may not do you any good, but trying to not die is a lot better than saying "welp I guess this is it" and just accepting death.

And also 3-5 depending on where it's from. Go ahead tho, it's on you. I'd rather do what's safest when fucking with grenades and not bank on "old fuze, I THINK that's that type of grenade."
>>29356444

>>29356455
Because electronics degrade faster and are more susceptable to being destroyed by a few hard knocks than a chemical fuse.

I wonder if anyone has run into bad grenades in Iraq/Afghanistan. Vietnam was the same as WWII with civilian laborers constructing weapons. I had a Vietnam vet talk to us about one instance where a whole crate of grenades had their fuses replaced with rolled up pieces of paper saying "give peace a chance" "love not war" etc.
>>29356519

If they can make electronics that can withstand the thousands of Gs of being fired from a cannon i think they can make one that can take a few knocks.

I'd imagine it's a cost issue. You've got to pay a few different firms to come up with prototypes, pick a couple of those for D&T, thne run it through a year or two of field trials. Assuming that nothing goes wrong and you don't have to start again from scratch, it the goes in to production, so the firm making them has to set up a whole new production line with brand new tooling. They'll have investors pay for that, then they'll charge enough enough to pay them back with interest and make a healthy profit for themselves. At that point, you don't just order the grenades you need for this year, you have to replace your entire stockpile, which for a country like the US I'd guess would be in the high millions/low tens of millions. Then there's the cost of retraining every serviceman who might need to use one at some point.
By the end of it all you're four years older and your wallet is a couple of hundred million dollars lighter, but all you've achieved is getting some grenades that go bang after /exactly/ eight seconds, instead of after /about/ eight seconds.
If we had thousands of men coming home without their wanking spanners because the grenades were going off the instant you let go of them it might be a worthwhile investment. As it stands at the moment though you could achieve the same result by teaching troops to clear rooms by setting fire to bundles of $100 bills and tossing them through the door before they enter.

It shouldn't be hard to add a changeable timer at that point.
The reason chemical fuzes are often so damn long is because they're not that consistent to begin with. That 8 sec fuse might actually be 5.5 instead.
But like all infantry weapons they are issued so widely and used proportionately so little that militaries will stick to the cheapest option out of lethargy. At most they'll procure some special stuff for the special squirrels.

He was telling tall tales. Crates have log numbers and serials, and you can get shot for that.

>>29356306
Don't touch it and go get an adult
>>29356306
If I remember, you yell "GRENADE," jump behind the nearest cover, go prone, put your arms over your helmet and face, and wait for death.
>>29356798
I learned that our fuses are 3-5 seconds, but if you're dealing with a grenade, it probably doesn't belong to one of your own
>>29356340
You either
A)do so successfully
B)make it worse by effectively making it an airburst
Hold it next to your head so youre gone quickly
>>29356306
Take your helmet off and put it over the grenade.
>>29357790
Excellent! You have created a larger fragmentation grenade!
>>29356306
Proper procedure?
Yell "GRENADE" and either get behind solid cover or lie flat on the floor with your helmet pointed towards the grenade. Modern helmets *should* provide enough deflection for grenade fragments.
Wanna feel like a hero?
Grab the grenade and Softball throw that bitch back to sender.

>>29356306
Yell grenade, and take cover. If no cover is available, lie glat with your helmet towards the nade, it should stop fragments. And even if you die because you break your neck (not certain), it's better than losing your legs and balls due to frag and still bleeding out.
>>29358063
That depends on how long you live for after the fact.
>>29357287

>>29356306

>>29356306
You jump away(screaming grenade) and try to get to cover. If its a shock grenade you may be lucky. If its a shrapnel grenade you're almost fucked if you got no cover.
>>29356444
According to my EOD buddy a lot of the old soviet grenade detonators are so shitty and decayed that the fuse times are basically random.
Some will explode almost immediately after being thrown, some take well over 20 seconds.
>1-30 second timer, and you don't know which
Don't use old ordinance.
>>29356306
Depends on the situation and your instincts.
Most preferable scenario is to throw the grenade back at the enemy. If you can't, toss it away. If you can't, jump to cover.
The only stories I know, of such scenario, depict unconventional reactions:
1. Roi Klein was in a tent with his buddies, when he realized that a grenade landed in the middle of it. To save everyone else, he jumped unto it. To this day it's controversial whether he could just toss it away (though he did receive a 'medal of honor' equivalent for this action).
2. When a patrol got ambushed near the border, an ambush-er threw a grenade at the patrolling force. The officer's reaction was to ran up to the thrower, pick him up and use him as a shield against the grenade.
>>29357617
Very accurate
>>29356306
Jump over it and crouch in mid-air.
The crouching is essential. You won't get any distance out of it if you don't crouch.

No. The pineapple juice seeps into the meat, slightly tenderizing it due to acidity, an permeating it with a delicious hint of tropical sweetness. It also apparently makes your jizz taste better.

>>29358875

Ive always wondered about this.
They say meat makes your spunk taste rotten while eating loads of fruit makes your cum taste sweeter. Now I wonder, if you just stop eating meat and start eating loads of pineapple, will you be shooting cum that will taste like sugarwater?
>>29358898
I'd eat the shit out of some pineapples. Pineapples are awesome. Open your mouth, anon. We're gonna do a science.
Theoretically, could one shoot the live grenade and disable it? Or would it just explode immediately?
>>29358942
>>29358942
That seems like one of those things that falls into the 'inadvisable' category.
>>29358928
Nah we'd have to make it more professional. We need 100 man who will freeze their sperm for a month. Then one half of them will only eat fruit and the other half will continue eating like usual. Then some persons will taste the cum, both the old frozen cum and the new fruitier cum. Naturally we'd have to first research if cum taste deteriorates from freezing. If it does we would have to either take it fresh and carefully log it or find men with similar tasting cum and then put half of them on diet.
Why has no one researched this before?
>>29358898
>Ive always wondered about this.
Its true to a limited degree. I mean its not like drinking gatorade but it makes it taste slightly less bad.
You really can notice it

You scream "GRENADE!" and hit the dirt. If in a fighting position kick it down a sump. If in a room you are going to be so fucked up from the concussion (along with everyone else) you won't be comcious or coherent for a while
I am in the infantry
>>29358968
I think that if you had a big enough sample size, you wouldn't have to worry about differences in taste between individuals. You could just graph average improvement, fruit eaters vs meat eaters. Double blind study.
>>29359005
Put 50 or so on a mostly fruit diet, 50 on whatever they want as a control, and 50 on liek cured meats and coffee and asparagus.
>>29359029
>>29359005
no you must mix the cum from the 50 with fruit and the cum from the 50 regular diet guys
than give the testers a teaspoon of both mixtures and ask them what tastes better
>>29358875
Tenderizing is due mostly to bromelain enzyme rather than acidity. I have nothing more to add.
>>29356306
considering that I am in a Forward observation team & usually practice with mortar teams within line of sight from FO -post as well as the target, probably yell "TAKE COVER!" and duck, as seeing the round (in my language called grenade) after it has left the tube means that something went horribly wrong.
>>29359181
Still you would also need to see how the fruit improves, how fast it improves and how much you need to eat. Also if fruit can counteract meat and if yes how much. It is nice as an introductory test to get a minimum and maximum datapoint but we would need a lot more test people with varying diets to make this test the conclusive test on all matters of cumtaste

>>29359688
Dude that was going in while were still there. I was there in 04 and 08 and both times they were doing that with the "allah decides where it hits" and that shit isnt even exclusive to Iraq. The Afghans and Taliban do that shit too. There are many cases of snipers missing at extreme ranges and their targets just stand there and look for them instead of taking cover....then that follow up shot doesnt miss...
Its one of the reasons the ground war was so easy and we didnt take a lot of casualties.

>>29358942
Actually I once read something about armies in the WWI going out of their way to recruit/promote people who had experience with skeet shooting. Supposedly those people were told to shot grenades in mid-air. It's also why shotguns became so popular around that time

>>29356306
Aren't you supposed to lay on the ground facing it with your arms to your side? If there's no obvious cover. Because the objective is to create the lowest surface area for the grenade shrapnel to hit. And your helmet is made to stop shrapnel. If you lay down facing towards it. The shrapnel is just gonna hit your helmet and shoulder armour "assuming they're issued. I'm not sure if they're mandiory or not." I'm pretty sure I read something on it. Because if you think about it. If you lay with your side facing it. You're body is just Gonna get peppered. And if you jump away from it your feet are just gonna get fucked to shit. I can't remember the survivability rate between each reaction to a grenade. But facing right towards it with your face down in the dirt is the best way to survive the explosion. I could be wrong though.
>>29356306

Basically, you have a lot of shitty options, and it's the least shitty one.
>>29360789
>>29360937
then again the primary concern in my training was indirect fire (mortars and artillery), in case of a single hand grenade your method is certainly better

Say goodbye to your balls. Shme you never got to use em.
>>29356306
Hope the motherfucker that threw wasn't smart enough to cook it and put literally anything you can between you and it, even if it's only distance. IIRC grenades only guarantee kills up to like, 10 feet. After that, you've got a decent chance of survival.
>>29356306
Cover your ears I suppose.
Is there a way to reset the fuse or is that CODscience? What if you keep a grenade pin on you and shove it back in.
>>29361327
Nope. Pin holds the handle in. Pull pin, nothing happens. Letting go of handle causes a spring loaded striker to smack something (flint?) which lights a time-delay fuse which then lights the big splosives.
>>29361327
there's a fuse inside teh grenade, once the pin is pulled and the "spoon" comes off, a spring loaded firing pin hits the head of the fuse, lighting it, once the fuse starts burning your only (very theoretical-) option would be to disassemble the grenade & throw the fuse away before it finishes burning.

uh what? Last time i checked every grenade i carried and pulled out of the black canisters had fuses on em...
Here's a neat little trick i never wanted to try, but always dreamed of maiming afghani children.
I dont know if it still works or not, but Smoke grenade fuses are pretty much instantaneous when you toss em. Take the fuse off that and put it on a frag and just leave them sprawled around, in mre's bags or something. So hopefully Mr. Taliban gets it, but more likely a child.
Always kinda wanted to do it, but again i was only told about this from my old as shit tc who was in the invasion and too fucked in the head to not have sane thoughts. IDK if the fuses even fit.

Can't be bothered looking it up but I think that a VC commendation has to be for an act of courage or bravery, beyond what is normally expected of a soldier, and that changes the course of the battle in a decisive way.

No the worst thing ever is if you jump on it then have to wait 5 seconds knowing that you had time to throw it back if you had tried

Probably. If he hadn't moved the blast might have crippled their shield arms, maybe a few fragments could have penetrated. I dunno if spalling would be a risk too or if the explosive needs to be in contact with the metal for that to happen?
As it is not only did he break his part of the shield wall but he lifted up the shield of the guy next to him so the blast could get through there too.
>>29365516
Is he going to be ok?
>>29365516
He lacked discipline.

>>29365637
those shields are probably lightweight as fuck, not rifle protection, as such fragments would probably go through them.
if they were hand-held rifle plates they would get tired of carrying them around

that reminds me, one time in an exercise where my team was directing mortar fire we had two dud smoke rounds, and since they technically count as live ammunition the instructors looking after us couldn't resist the temptation of disposing of them the same way one would dispose of high explosives, too bad they were just mortar rounds instead of, say, bangalorean torpedoes or AT -mines (I have also witnessed disposal of a dud bangalorean torpedo, that was epic) so instead of a "PT -cube" (20kg cube of TNT used for disposal of bigger explosives) they could only use small amount of plastic explosives...
>>29356306
Remember that they have no manual safety

Freaking kek anon. Wew, my sides.
>>29358364
Freaking kek on #2. Can you just imagine the throwers reaction to getting picked up and used as a shield? Wew lad my sides
>>29365516
Couldn't he have just used his shield to punt the grenade away? From what I know grenades have pretty small killing radii and just a few meters might have turned a fatal explosion into a bunch of injuries?
>>29356352
If its Russian made it probably won't go off until the pin is inserted and removed five times so no harm done to anyone throwing it back - a bit like Marxist Leninism really.
>>29359612
Good grief, not sure if that is beast mode, or just sad. Can you imagine what your "quality" of life would be like if you survived that? Still, respect for those guys.
>>29356306
That depends. Sometimes you'll see grenades on the vests of friendly soldiers. I advise you don't freak out from the mere sight of them.
Kick it into the grenade sump you dug at the bottom of your fox hole
>>29365516
that's not his foot flying away, it's part of the riot gear.
Saw an aftermath pic, legs were still attached although the left foot was in a pretty shit condition.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_on_a_grenade
>Such an act can be survivable: In World War II Jack Lucas, in the Battle of Iwo Jima, placed two grenades under his steel M1 Helmet and himself before they exploded. Lucas lived, but spent the rest of his life with over 200 pieces of shrapnel in his body. In 2008 near Sangin in Afghanistan Matthew Croucher used his rucksack to pin the grenade to the floor, and that and his body armor absorbed the majority of the blast. On November 21, 2010 in Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Marine Lance Corporal Kyle Carpenter threw himself upon a grenade, thrown onto a rooftop, to save a fellow Marine; sustaining injuries to his face, right arm and losing his right eye, he survived these wounds.

yell "GRENADE" at the top of your lungs and dive for cover
Do you guys think that some of the MoH recipients that were awarded posthumously (or otherwise) for jumping on 'nades did so accidentally?
Gunfire, shouting, and general fog of war are deafening you.
Someone yells "GRENADE!" at the top of their lungs, and you go to dive for cover, only to realize you dive right on the fucking thing.
>>29367908
No it happens. Yes they know they are taking the fall. Don't doubt courage exists because you don't have it in you.
>>29367934
?
What in the fuck are you on about, retard?
I don't doubt that courage exists, and I know that there are people out there who have jumped on grenades to save their friends.
I was simply suggesting that maybe there were cases like I described where people unknowingly dove onto one.
Fuck off you self-righteous cunt.
>>29367809
Mad respect for those guys. Takes some big kahones and selflessness to do something like that.

Seek cover, if none is available lie flat on the ground with your feet towards the grenade.
Shrapnel tends to rise and if you are hit by fragments your legs will prevent fragments from hitting your vital organs.
>>29368572
>getting shrapnel between your legs

No, he's right. Your feet are supposed to be together, not spread eagle.

Could have happened, certainly. Most likely will we'll never know definitively.

Here's a Swiss /Mexican jumping bean design grenade. No hiding behind cover,explodes in the air.

I don't understand the naysaying about this dude. These guys are hiding behind shields, can't see shit, being pelted with what they assume are more rocks. Would you expect a hand grenade? And while everyone else shit themselves trying to figure out what to do, he acted. I say that even though he failed he did everything right and bravely.
As a side note, you can see that the kneeling guys react at first, but then hesitate. I think they were going to try to block it with their shields, but realized how many gaps there would be, and that those shields probably aren't able to withstand and grenade. I still say the guy that kicked it deserves a medal

>>29373582
Best move might have been to kick the back of the shield the grenade was up against. But people can't think of everything in such situations. Armchair quarterbacking is too easy.
Put it down a toilet
>>29356327
Getting on the ground isn't gonna save you. The grenade explodes directly outwards in all directions.
>>29356306
Yell grenade.
Dive away from it, landing with your boot soles facing it and with your legs closed as much as possible.
Open your mouth slightly to equalize the overpressure.
>>29374708
That's why you have helmets and soft armor, and by lying flat the area of body exposed to the blast will be significantly reduced, and by coverign your neck and closing your legs, in event you do indeed survive, you will have less chance getting a spinal or groin injury

kek. He did just about the worst thing that he could have done and not only did he pay for it but others did aswell.
Intentions are all well and good and a fuck up like that can be forgiven for noble intentions but it certainly shouldn't be rewarded.
