Thanks for the informative video. It's interesting to me that they couldn't come up with a design that could be "reloaded" without needing to be sent back to the factory. But I guess in general these aren't multi-use items lol
Black powder is pretty versatile for low grade weapons. It will blow up a pipe, when filled into a tube it makes a delay, and ignition is easy, a match, cigarette or a primer will get it going.
@@Stray03 They we’re stuffing homemade devices with powder and metal fragments. My point being they must all have a trigger device. Take a grenade or missile launcher. Some went off on impact others in the air without hitting anything.
Yeah it really depended on who was making them and what they had access to. Majority that you see are just fuzed with a time fuse, but if they could source something fancier they would. For impact you could always just use a primed casing rigged with a firing pin for example.

Yeah I guess it was overall easier to do that. Now they have practice fuzes you just replace while playing with the practice ones.
I taught only WW2 Japanese grenades had that triggering mechanism. Thanks
Yeah it is the most well known but a few of the ww1 and interwar ones did it that way too.
Thanks again!!
How about a Russian RGO or one of the various Czeck impact grenades? A bit hard to source them,I imagine, but they are interesting.
When I find them I try to make a video on them. I missed out on a training RGO sadly.

Who noticed it look like fallout 3 and new vegas granade ?
I saw Charlie reload all sorts of things that were lying around. They reloaded much with black powder. Don’t under stand what they used to set it off.

@@Stray03 But from a distance what set it off sir.
Could you do one on how to ignite devices like Charlie used in nam where they used what they had or found. You know what I’m getting at
I think it was dependent on the device. I would need specific ones to know which you mean.

@@Stray03 Thanks man. Give a lesson on that one day.
