Can confirm that outside grooves on grenades don't do much in dividing them into fragments. I have a piece of a Soviet F-1 grenade that was used on the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it is like 1/4 of the whole granade itself. Seems that kill radius of each grenade is very random.

One variant of that stick grenade was used in the movie "Mission In Action 3". Such a grenade was thrown behind character Colonel Braddock. When it landed on the ground (presumed now the grenade was armed), he looked at the dropped grenade, and knew he had to run away. It did not blow right away because of the so-called "delay fuze", but he knew he had to run away fast, and he did, but as soon as he ran 2 steps, the grenade blew up and he took the full brunt of the blow-up, catapulting him as far as 15 feet, because he was still in the kill zone of that blown grenade.

In "Saving Private Ryan", a WW2 movie, you see the Wehrmacht fighters throw stick grenades at several American soldiers perched on a 2nd floor of a war-torn building. The good news is that thanks to the delay fuse, the soldiers realized the sticks would blow in about 1-2 seconds so they had to jettison the grenades away out of sight before they blew. The grenades blew, but they survived.

"A grenade is a weapon made by putting explosives or chemicals into bullets." No. A bullet is a projectile fired from a gun. This is not just semantics, since explosive small arms and light weapon ammunition (although the latter would typically be called a 'shell' at 20mm calibre or above). The Oxford definition works well i.e. "a small bomb thrown by hand or launched mechanically"

In the Italian army until the 1990s the Beretta BM59 rifle was available which had the native possibility of launching Energa and Super Energa anti-tank grenades. It was necessary to raise the alidade (which, in addition to being an aiming device, closs the gas recovery system so that the gases from the explosion of the blank cartridge were fully available), engage the grenade and press the trigger. It is highly advisable to use the winter trigger because if you used the standard one you risked breaking your finger due to the strong recoil

​@@flat-earther ​There are empirical *proofs* of the earth's curvature, and beyond that, proof that its a globe, not merely curved. You have completely forgotten basic realities of how the world, and how anything *moves* or even *exists* to begin with. I've heard the hypotheses before, they only work within a set of parameters that quickly fall apart as soon as you start to study and experiment with *why* things move from your hand when you let go, *why* things fall, *why* you can throw something up in the air and watch it eventually change course and fall back down again. It's *my* hypothesis that you were taught the earth was a globe before you had a chance to understand, learn, play and experiment with any of what I just mentioned, leaving you behind, just like the kid that couldn't do fractions because he didn't understand how to put two numbers together, and how to do it faster with multiplication. *AFTER* you refamiliarize yourself with the most basic things you look over everyday due to how instinctual they are, ​ then you should start looking up. To the sky. Track the movement of constellations throughout the night, use a camera for a timelapse. Keep track of shadows of the sun, where they move, what angle they fall, and how that changes throughout the day. video call with a trusted flat earther in a different part of the country to the east or west, or a different country all together. There are people that believe the earth is a globe without any actual understanding because they weren't given the time or environment to *really* learn. I'm gonna guess that you used to think the earth was curved without understanding it, too. Don't let anyone reeducate you about how the earth is round either, you'll probably just miss the point all over again. *Reeducate yourself*. This is how you find your red pill. Look for where the flat earth falls apart, if you truly believe its true. Then we can talk.

The German Stielhandgranade still worked in such a way that you had to unscrew a cap from the bottom and then a string with a ceramic ball would hang out from it and you had to pull it and throw it away Throwing it was a bit interesting because it had to be thrown by spinning it, unlike Russian or American hand grenades The operation of the other round hand grenades is simpler, you only have to pull out the round safety pin, then as long as you are holding the grenade there is no problem, but if the metal tab on the side falls off the grenade, it becomes ready to fire from then on, so you have to throw it away within a second because it explodes in your hand and blows off half your body along with your head A rifle grenade is usually not converted from a hand grenade, but there is a separate rifle grenade with a launcher, in which case a blank cartridge must be used to launch it The Germans already used a rifle grenade called "Schiessbecher" for the KAR98K under WW2 This is, for example, the AMP 69 of the Hungarian Army, introduced in 1975, which was specially designed for launching rifle grenades

eine kleine Geschichte zur Stielhandgranate: Februar 1916, deutsche Truppen lagen in den Gräben der ersten Linie, fertig zum Angriff auf Verdun. Aufgrund des schlechten Wetters wurde der Angriffstermin mehrfach verschoben. Die Sicherungskappen der Stielhandgranaten waren noch aus gepresster Pappe, das tagelange Ausharren in den Gräben bei nassem Wetter weichte sie auf. Am Angriffstag (21.02.16) stiegen die Sturmtruppen aus den Gräben, die Handgranaten am Gürtel eingehakt. Sie kämpften sich durch Gestrüpp, Buschwerk, zerschossene Wälder und Stacheldraht Richtung feindliche Linien. Die Sicherungskappen der Handgranaten fielen ab, die Kordel mit der Keramikkugel hing heraus, verfing sich im Gestrüpp und zündete die Ladung. Die Explosion zerrisss den Träger und tötete Kameraden in der Nähe. (Quelle: German Werth "Verdun, die Schacht und der Mythos")

I read somewhere that in the German Army in WW2, there was a 'fashion' for young officers to show nerve by putting a grenade on the Stahlhelm helmet that the officer was wearing and pulling the fuze, so that it detonated and the shrapnel and blast were deflected by the helmet. Not sure if this happened as the shock wave would have done some serious harm and it can't have done much for the ears.

OK video,! However, slight omission. Some grenades were launched from early M16s using a Nato 22mm diameter flash suppressor and a grenade retaining spring The system was dropped because of having too excessive time to use a Grenade Launching Blank cartridge ( no projectile). The reason for dropping use was having to manually load a GLB. Nessatating removal of the ball round and then placing the GLB in the chamber then placing the grenade used on the end of the rifle barrel. Live ball M193 could not be used to launch the rifle grenade. Doing so would result in injury to the shooter,and the detonation of the grenade. The M203 did not require such excessive time constraints. Faster reload times, and more variety of rounds.

When I was in the Marines we were told there was a 5 second fuse however the pomegranate is made by the cheapest “Lowest bidder” generally you do not want to cook the grenade! Explosion times may vary! Not that anybody cares but my reduction to a grenade was in MCT Camp Lejune, it was the instructor “we were in this like shed structure” the instructor was deepest in the shed to my left was this female & me, the instructor pulled out what look like a peanut jar “aluminum container that peanuts come in” remove the top followed by pulling the pin to open “remove the aluminum that sealed the grenade” tipping the container upside down having the grenade fall into his hand, only do then toss it unexpectedly through the female hitting her in the chest “gently” only for her to freak out in the grenade to fall to the ground! Second it hit her chest, she screamed and try to leave the shed! However I processed it as instructor what is not running then we're good! I thought it was funny I also thought it was interesting how the grenades were sealed in a peanut can! Another story: “for those who are interested” Took place in Ft Leonard Wood, everybody was sitting cross legged in a semi circle around another instructor, he was holding a practice grenade “hollowed out with a replaceable primer/ fire cracker that function exactly like a grenade” he was explaining how a grenade function, pulling the pin, letting the spoon eject, then barely tossing it in the group the majority of the people ran for their lives!

The WW2 German rifle grenade launched from a rifled tube attached to the Kar98 rifle was the most advanced type of it's time but it's not mentioned here, nor is the WW1 Italian "bullet through" rifle grenade that was propelled and ignited by the same hot gas that propelled the bullet.

Great animations but a few technical inaccuracies: 1. It’s not true that hand grenades NEVER have instantaneous fuzes. Some countries ship hand grenades with the option to insert an instantaneous fuze, thus providing the ability to turn the grenade into an anti personnel fragmentation mine. 2. Although less common, stick grenades didn’t completely disappear after WW2. The Chinese continued to make a stick Grenade for some time. 3. Rifle grenades did started with adaptions to hand grenades in order to increase range. However they very quickly became a different sun-group of ammunition and it’s generally inaccurate to use the term ‘rifle hand grenade’. The M31, for example, can’t be thrown by hand. 4. Not all rifle grenades use ballistite (‘blank’) cartridges. Some use a ‘bullet catcher’ mechanism which allows the user to use a standard round, as does a ‘bullet through’ grenade. These types reduce the time in which the rifleman can’t use his rifle while setting up the grenade.

Enjoyable video. You missed a baseball CS that doesn't have the clip. A plunger is in the tube and a pin holds it. We learned that putting your finger on the plunger when pulling the pin is NOT the same as holding the spring handle. It will explode while you hold it and your finger holds the plunger. The plunger does not need to pop off to arm it. I betcha!!

Very well explained. Only the sentence "TNT is stable and insensitive to shock, so it explodes under the shock produced by the detonator" does not sound locigal. I know what you mean, though.

Great video. Most of this I already knew or had a pretty good idea how it worked being a history and war buff since high school. Though I do have a question. At 9:35 you go into the mechanics and actions of a spigot launcher. This was something I knew nothing about but am amazed at most of it. The grenade is inserted into an adapter tube then into the Spigot launcher. The explosive gases from the blank rifle cartridge blasts the grenade assembly into the air toward the enemy. Now, how is the safety pin pulled from the hand grenade? How is the spoon released when we can clearly see that it is constrained by a clip on the launcher? That part is not followed up on and explained. My father is a Marine and says that you DO NOT pull a safety pin out with your teeth like you see in movies. They are restrained quite well, one would pull his teeth out before that safety came out. It takes a determined pull to remove the safety pin. And what about timing? It takes a few seconds for the detonator to activate the explosive material. Otherwise you're simply delivering a perfectly good hand grenade to the enemy without the satisfaction of it's detonation. They may return it in a proper manner. Answer?

InRangeTV has a good video on the M1 Garand spigot launcher if you are looking for more details. There is a little tab that holds the spoon down after pulling the pin until you fire the grenade. On some cup launchers the cup itself holds the spoon down until it is fired, so you pull the pin and shove the grenade into the cup without letting the spoon fly off.

@@asteamedpanda Ah, that explains it. Though having a grenade that close to me without a safety pin is a bit unnerving. But it works so mad respect to the soldier arming a launcher. Thanks for the info, that pretty much explains it. I will check out that channel. Appreciate the lesson. I have learned something new. 🙂
