Hand grenades

[Aaron Kane 0]

A bit offtopic, but has anyone ever thrown a paint grenade? I mean the kind used in paintball. If so, do they work well?

So,it sounds like grenades come n 3 flavours impact,3,5 and 7sec.

All i can say is best resd the instructions.

But id like it if our commanders could lob a few while turned out of their armour

....hmmmmm shrapnel

im sorry to say Gimmbal but that piece of advice is VERY dengarous! i case of throwing into bushes or into furnished room you can get stuck or worse, pulled in!

thats a big NO-NO!

About paintball grenades - never seen one in use but in most places paint splatter does not count as a kill so whats the point of a nade that just splatters paint?

The idea of picking up a granade and throwing it back is a hollywood idea.

During the WW2 there was an italian elite force called "Arditi", they used to practice a very common joke to test their own skills. During lunch it was common to throw in the barracks where ppl ate one grenade to see who was enough brave (or fool) not to run away but to throw it out the window. Many ppl died tryin to catch the grenade or because they weren't quick leaving the room.

Well that answers alot of questions I had about the Italians.

My grandpa throwed back a nade in Winter War and killed few Russians, although he got injured from a second nade. The nade hit his helmet and dropped next to him, only the "klonk" sound of the nade made him to react to nade. He didn't panic, just took the nade stood up and carefully throwed it back.

Mine got hit ON his helmet by a dud mortar round, talk about lucky break

I wouldn't want to be that mess hall cleanup crew. I somehow find myself doubting that story, though.

Scout, Gimbal was kidding. Thank you for warning anyone stupid enough to try that that it is a bad idea to try in real life, though.
