I swear in call of duty these things roll a lot farther

*”oops sorry sir, lost my grip and accidentally dropped it”*

The instructor puts his hand on the head of every trainee as they duck. You just know that is because someone in the past stood up (too soon) to see what happened.

*Enemy waiting with tennis racket*

You see hollywood, a real grenade does not create a massive fireball like in the movies. Everytime a grenade goes off in a movie, an entire house engulfs in flames and the propane tank explodes for special effects while the main characters walk away without even flinching

I pump faked my grenade because I forgot to scream frag out initially, I've never seen a humans eyes open as wide as my instructors did that day.

The concussive force on those things is INTENSE. Video games and movies downplay it, but even with full gear, a flak vest on, AND crouched down behind 3 feet of concrete, you can feel the shockwave go THROUGH your entire body and almost rattle your teeth inside your skull. The lethality of these things is nuts.

I loved the part the grenade actually got into the target zone. The voices in the background 100% impressed.

once a legend said "If the pin is pulled Mr Grenade is not your friend"

The moral value we got from hand grenade, *Giving is better than receiving.*

Imagine forgetting to pull the pin, throwing the grenade, and then the enemy just picks it up, pulls the pin and returns it to its previous owner...

Man: “GET DOWN! GRENADE!!” Grenade flying through the air: “Woo Woo Woo Woo Wooo...”

When the pin is pulled, Mr.Grenade is not our friend.

How real men throw: 1: Hold G 2: Aim with Computer Mouse 3: Release G 4: "GRANATA!!!"

The way they teach you to throw a grenade is like they assume you've never thrown a ball in your entire life. It amazed me when I was in ITR back in the day.

In the RAF I went to senalagar in Germany which is where the army trains, I had a chance to throw grenades, first you practice with tennis balls...easy peasy. After that we had two sets of boxes one with the detonator in and the other the main body that fragments, screwing them together brings a whole new reality to the equation! I’ve seen many men really get nervy when it’s a bomb you throw. The range warden was a warrant officer on his last posting before retiring who took exceptional care of the Range and had planted several sunflowers and other flowers off to the extreme left of the throwing area of the targets. And yes one airman got so nervous at throwing he launched the Grenade off to the left and utterly destroyed his flower patch!! Much to our amusement and his annoyance. Though this might amuse anyone who reads it and it was true. And no it wasn’t me!

Marine: *throws grenade* Grenade: *whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo* 0:55

I like the “woowoowoowoowoo” sound the grenade makes when throwing it

In 1964 we did this training in the South African Army using the Mills Grenade. The motion, the control and the manner of throwing was exactly the same. This of us who had played cricket and bowled a cricket ball were able to throw the grenade a lot further.

We had to do this as part of our training in Army basic back in 1969. Later, in infantry AIT, we got to use M-79 grenade launchers, lots of fun.

I like the sound it produces as it flies away

I still have the pin from the first grenade I threw in '91

I will never forget my first time throwing live grenades. It's carved into the memory. When the priest threw his, it exploded at the top of its arc. Another fellow pulled his pin before the drill instructed him to; when the drill screamed at him, the trainee panicked and flipped it over the protecting wall, but it simply landed on top of the sandbags surrounding the protecting wall. The drill stood, grabbed it, and threw it properly. Then the entire range shut down. A-7-2 Fort Jackson Mar 1982.

I'll never forget how disappointed I was throwing my first grenade after watching countless action films and playing video games. I was like "SGT - was mine a dud??" He laughed his ass off 😅

‘Hey does anyone know where the pin is for my grenade? I can’t find it anywh-‘

Meanwhile the movies : The whole building is on fire when the hero throws ONE grenade.

1:52 Props to the only guy that actually threw the grenade. Love sports Marines

Tempted to enlist in the army just so I can yell “YEET” every time I throw a grenade

Remember those nerdy kids in elementary school that would try to shoot the basketball but would somehow manage to throw the ball behind them?

1:53 The Sergeant instantly knew he had a gem among his ranks

I remember trying not to be the one to mess this up, so I practiced taking it out of the pouch, etc. When it came time to actually do it with the SSGT, I pulled it out so fast it dropped on the ground (with the pin still in). The SSGT yell, "Woah, you are effn' nervous, Pvt.?!" I told him, "no, but it is my 20th birthday..." Now, it's one that we'll both never forget (2008). I couldn't tell you if I threw in the designed area, but I did throw it over the wall!

In the Army, we were instructed to throw them like a shotput. You cocked your arm with the grenade in your fist, held right behind your ear. If you drew your arm backwards, you failed. Reason for this is it’s all too easy to wack your hand on the back side of the trench, a branch, another soldier, anything that could cause you to drop it at your feet. We also had practice grenades that were heavy, hollow dummies with spoon, fuse, and a blasting cap inside. We had to throw them over a wire that was suspended fairly high up in the air and far out from our position. That would guaranty that you were throwing it far enough so you weren’t in the blast radius. They were heavy and difficult to throw in that arc, in that manner. After throwing a live one, each man would get to stand behind a bulletproof enclosure to watch the guy behind him in line, throw his, so we could see the explosion. White flash and some smoke. No Hollywood fireball.

They are doing it wrong, they are supposed to shout "Granade"!

You miss the words "Fire in da hole!"

I remember that exercise. My muscle memory told my body I was throwing firecrackers as a 12 year old kid so I kinda forgot to duck down. After my Lt pulled me down on the ground he had let say some strong words for me.

The M69 grenade is used for grenade training to safely simulate the M67 grenade. The fuze screws into the body, and is replaceable after use. The simulator produces a report and a small puff of white smoke when employed. The M69 has a blue-painted lever and a blue body with white markings. This is to indicate that it is a safe practice grenade rather than a live fragmentation grenade like the M33 or M67.

The worst job to have, an instructor for live grenade practice

1:54 A perfect squad wipe with a granade

Thanks to this educational videos, i do the exact same move when i play Contractors VR, and it helped me with accuracy, thanks Army !

It’s so satisfying to hear them go through the air

*"press G to throw the grenade back"* Edit : *The grenade explodes when you try to throw it back, Press F

Imagine your the instructor and the marine your teaching hands u the grenade and says "Sir I cant find the pin."

I love the concussion you feel in the earth when grenades explode. Such powerful little devices

I remember in tire town doing MOUT training, one of my fireteam took a piece of shrapnel in his neck. Blood was only spraying out every few seconds. The corpsman got some training that day also. TEAMWORK

I like how there putting the grenades in so softly

Only American grenades sing after being thrown

This is how I blast grenades in Diwali...😂

This is nostalgic. Really brings back memories. I kept the pin I pulled from my grenade. still have it.

It's obvious that guys' throwing live grenades for the first time. When you do it for the first time you think not about the distance and accuracy, but about how not to blow yourself up. If right now give that guys just a mockup of this grenade the same weight and demensions - they will show absolutely other results in distance and accuracy.

When I was in boot camp, I was surprised at how hard it was to actually get any real distance throwing these. They are heavier than they look - and it's especially hard to throw when you're all geared up. But that "crunch" could be heard and felt across the whole island.

I was surprised the weight and sound of the grenades. Claymore also.

Some good form there guys. Great job.

I swear, if I get drafted, I’ll say “KOBE” whenever I throw a nade so the last thing a person hears is that.

NBA fans throwing grenade at war be like: *Kobe*

Boy, does this ever bring back memories. I remember being on the range in Boot Camp at Fort Ord California in June 1971. There was a guy that dropped a live one on the throw, and the DI had to do his hero thing’ and save the day. Dang, I do miss those days. 🫤

Thank you to those Drill Sergeants! I threw my 2. Sooo loud and I will never forget that moment. Ft. Benning.

Instructor: “Prepare to throw. Aim high look high throw” Grenade: wuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuh

1941: GRANATE 2040: YEET

I remember doing this, and they show you what would happen if you accidentally drop it, they will tackle you to the ground and cover you. It was such a hilarious demonstration

In the Australian Army, 50 years ago, we were trained to always throw, or rather ‘lob’ with a straight arm. This meant that the grenade was more likely to not skip over a foxhole.

I remember the instructor telling me to keep my arm straight and I felt that I could throw it harder if I threw it like a baseball. Got stressed out and confused and threw with a combo of the two methods and the grenade landed just 3 feet in front of us, on the other side of the barrier. Didn’t make a lot of friends that day

Good thing no one dislocated their throwing arm just before release.

I remember throwing a live granade first time in the finnish military. I was exited and a bit nervous because training granades were used and the pin was much tighter than in real granades which were not used before.

I remember doing this in basic. Fun!

Instructor : Okay, on me.. Pull the pin, 1 2 3 throw Soldier : *Throws* Instructor : Get down Soldier : Sike, I still have it *shows grenade*

Normal people: Grenade Me an intellectual: *TACTICAL YEETS*

I remember when hand grenades were thrown in the army, so it was a little scary at first. We didn't throw practice grenades because they were banned. A practice grenade had exploded earlier in someone's hand. The training grenade has the same detonator, but it has a different body, which contains no explosive or metal. We were thrown directly real grenades. I had to listen to the instructor's instructions very carefully.

I had to work the grenade range while at Ft Leonardwood. This was the only range I hated working. I had 1 PVT not even make it out of the bunker. I grabbed her and tossed her out the back. The grenade went off just as I landed on top of her for cover. She then complained I threw her to hard, and that when she hit the ground she claimed she got whiplash. The DS backed me up and basically told her through about 30 minutes of corrective training, that if I didnt do that, she wouldnt have to worry about corrective training anymore.

The 1 guy that rolled it in there 👍

"Drop the pin..throw the grenade!" "Got it. Drop the pin throw the grenade." _Drops grenade, throws pin_ Great movie lol

Grenades are the definition of small but deadly

0:45 imagine you're in the the middle of a war, hear a silly little whistling sound, and you think "oh, that's one funny bird!" but NO. you get blown to bits.

0:54 damn that throw was clean

I threw my first grenade like a baseball. I got a lot more distance than the guys throwing textbook style. We had a grenade assault course with dummy pop grenades. It was pretty fun. Airborne 82nd.

Did this in Marines in early '90s. They treat each grenade with the reverence of an atomic bomb. I played a lot of baseball, and let me tell you that grenades are heavy to throw. You gotta chuck 'em and get a good roll.

Thank You

Grenades exploding in most FPS Games: *explodes with a little fire* Grenades exploding in real life: *exploding smoke*

*Me thinking:* Just throw them further *Me realizing:* They have way more muscle's then me

8 out of 10 throws those barrels walked away laughing.

Comrad and sir in heaven Comrad: sorry sir i dropped it Sir: of course you've dropped it, goddammit that's why we are here 😂

1:55 "aww man BOOM" sounds funny to me the way he says it

I remember throwing my grenade through a roof vent and killed someone camping on the stairs. lol

Legend has it that a soldier once killed 15 enemies with only the pin of a grenade.

I loved throwing grenades in the Marines and the National Guard, to get the grenade right on the target was a "blast". Semper Fi

Done my grenade training 10 years ago during my national service, it's tougher than it looks honestly, since i couldn't throw it that far, but i can still remember one of my platoon mate's grenade didn't go off and they disposed of it in full EOD suit using a C4, so it was a interesting experience seeing a grenade and C4 explosion in the same day

0:41 that looks like a grown version of the “I’m a future army soldier” kid

Rumour has it that five years and one million grenades later these five bowling pins still stand there upright.

My dad occasionally related a story of training troops in the use of grenades, circa 1951. They used grenades with 5-second timers. Pull the pin, count 2, throw. The one time, he flung it across the wall and boom! Someone had packed 3-second grenades in a box marked for 5s.

"Never gets old when something blows up."

I'll always remember that concussion and how the shrapnel rained back down.

Love it the boys doing well.

Back in 1971 while going through basic at Fort Dix in NJ we went to the grenade range. Halfway through we were running out of grenades. The instructors couldn’t figure out why. Suddenly they realized they left 2 full crates on the side of the road. A road that was open to civilians to drive on. I never saw anyone run the mile so fast to get them.

You old salt dogs can talk shit on the way they are throwing but it isn't really a trained action. They just handed me the grenade and told me to get in line lmao. Plus can you blame these dudes? This is probably the first time they've ever handled something that if handled incorrectly could very well kill them and anyone around them. I wouldn't be too worried about my throwing power and accuracy during something like this. I'd be worried about the steps and procedure and safety more than anything else. Smh.

Instructor : Pull the pin soldier Soldier : which pin sir ? The end

I'd like to see exact targets but this is a start and I've never done it. Good job.

Looks really fun

I got anxiety watching this

Everyone a gangsta until an object reflects it back

I remember my first one, was awesome
