Grenade Training 101

[okie]

A hand grenade can go off in 4-5 seconds.

Ever hear the saying "throws like a girl"? In the (new) Marine Corps (with women in combat), this is what it looks like....filmed on location at Camp Pendelton, CA.

I saw plenty of young men do the same thing when I was training recruits in UK way back in the 70's. Had to pick up a dropped grenade more than once. You counted the time from the pin release before deciding what to do or which way to run! Fortunately we never got any 'short fuses' when I was on, but it did happen .

Cheers, Roger.

There is good reason the God of Warriors invented the Thump Gun.
