Pin position comes to the manual of arms ergos, where Soviet has arms come in and it's tossed underhand or backhand (not always depicted right, not as natural) while NATO follows US with a wind-up and overhand toss (going back to the baseball study). Wasteful extra motion for the Soviet style when overhand throwing but not for Western, tho less target is potentially presented. For the spoon, it also probably isn't heat-treated or correctly after stamping, which is something I've noticed with M228 training fuzes.

Have you ever accidentally killed a camera for one of your reviews? Love the close up view of the explosions, but i cant help myself from feeling a bit uncomfortable seeing a handgrenade flying at me so to say :D
Ok, I tried sending them an email. Lets hope they respond "duh, we know, where do you think Valgear media corp gets cases of grenades to make educational content with".

@@miragebg Lets not get ahead of ourselves, this grenade has likely been in manufacture for decades, and as far as I am aware likely did go to Iraq and Afganistan to equip local troops, that lean soviet-style in their pre-existing training, so I expect not all the ones ever made only ever sat in a warehose.

Still, the only way I would be sure at minimum 1 person wrote them about it is what I did, and I told you about it.
Honestly they could very slightly change the design of the spoon and avoid the whole issue. If the spoon shrouded the nubbings on the side of the fuse, it would likely reinforce the metal enough to avoid bending. Just a few cents more metal and an additional bend would strengthen it. But what do I know, I'm just watching youtube videos.
Would like to see a redesign, realized that if the protruding hinge nubs get dinged so that they bend outwards, the spoon might not be held by the hinge nubs at all...

A number 10 in a circle is the identifier that Arsenal's factory got assigned to put on their products some time back, just one such number among others, I am sure Dunarit also has a number in a circle, and there are at least 9 other such numbers in a circle on other products (I am not sure if it was for Bulgarian arms industry only, or Warsaw-pact wide for example).

Hey Val, based on your and others experience with assaulting entrenched positions, do you feel like grenades need to be filled with more explosives material or fragments?. Have you also thought of sticking grenade to a stick for more range like Stielhandgranate?.
SWEET vid as always!!!! Do you guys have the alhambra grenade made by instalaza? if so it would neat to see a vid on it. Also REALLY awesome to see the crate unboxing
So, the frag pattern is amazing, but i agree that the pin placement is an issue. I will say that you could safely switch the side the pin is on safely with the use of tape. My good buddy is left handed and he switches the pin to the roght side on all of his flash bangs and grenades. He uses duct tape to ensure the spoon stays in place whilst also holding the spoon.
It's one of the tropes we had here by russian propaganda post 1989 and esp up to hysteria for 1999 - 2004 (when we walked to path to NATO membeship) - our great military industry this, our great military industry that, NATO bad. First, (post 1944 occupation, industry is another 50odd years older than that)they "let us" have the dirtiest and most dangerous and lowest profit margin industries. Plus, even if local industry (my late uncle was a colonel equivalent with a technical engineer job, from what he told me, and he was pro russian to his bones) did try to develop more sophisticated weapons systems, they were often rejected for not being made in russia enough, even if they performed on par or better. He would always tell me stories of the (his baby) anti-tank guided system did so well in parallel testing (circa early 80s or so), the soviet officer came up to him the second day, and had him have pieces ripped out for the repeat trial to have maximum communism again for the concerned observing generals. I am sure that there are many more examples like this, but I want to share mine that I have no reason to doubt the source of (personal) - as he loved him some russia, but hated bitterly what happened to his work. Secondly, if you are the US, and you're looking to shop around for soviet-style small arms, ammo, basic weapons systems to arm 1 or 2 countries with for 20 years - you're not spoiled for choice. I expect they bought heaps of the stuff, for our industry's scale at least. Iraq army had a tradition of cooperation with Bulgaria in pre-1989 times. Vatniks would say - NATO bad.
It's interesting to see the effects of the different types of shrapnel. The impact of the cylindrical frag is particularly interesting. Stay safe out there man 🤙
I thought grenades that produce shrapnel or have additional shrapnel liners, are considered defensive grenades per se. (Thats the way to differentiate, offensive = blast pressure, defensive = shrapnel)
Place the spoon facing 4 fingers pin turns to left Your left hand can immediately pull out the latch If there are too few pieces, you can wrap them with wire and fix them with tape
I hope the Arsenal company ameliorates the flaws in the fuze constuction, a simple redesign of the spoon (trimming the hooks to a slightly shorter lenght, maybe making the spoon out of a metal sheet a few tens of microns thicker) should take care of that. And swapping the ring to the left side. Thank you. Oh, by the way, in English, "karton" is called cardboard. Like a board made of card paper. And "zahlushka" is not a protective plug, but shipping plug. ;)
For all I know, that box was made in 2022, and maybe already the ones rolling of the line today are better, perhaps this was in itself some kind of design iteration introduced earlier, that did not exactly deliver only the planned improvement. I know that both Arsenal and Dunarit have sold heaps of gear to the USA, as one of the sources used to arm both Iraq (who is anyway a traditional customer for these companies for at least 60 years) and Afghanistan, so it seems logical to me that at least previous iterations of these had been sent to places where people at least tend to get them out of the box, and give them a try. Anyway, just to make sure I am not overestimating them (If I was the CEO of Arsenal, I would watch closely) myself, and as I have already seen in comments here, others have tried to reach out specifically for this video. And finally to my point - another term that does not translate well is "polygon", which in English I would call a "range", they mean the same but the names cane about differently (think of how a range would look on a map, is my guess why a lot of us in Slav-country call it "polygon"). Finally, we have a good 20-30 % "people under the influence of russian information operations", or vatniks, which by the very low voter turnout (guess who works in that direction as well) get an oversized representation in our Parliament, causing the election spirals such as the one we are in now, started as soon as putin and his cohort learned about certain artillery ammunition, that may have changed hands at the beginning of 2022. I am sure putin and co are sure pissed of they did not manage to blow all of it that we had in 2014. I don't expect there are very many workers in the factories in Ruse or Sopot, that have anti-USA views, I am certain they appreciate the business. As a taxpayer of Bulgaria, I also appreciate the tax dollars that at the end contributed to our common good here, we need all the money we can get. It is a strange world we live in today. But we have the opportunity to get closer together, and derive strength from that.

@@killerkirill1 That is an interesting scenario you described. Never seen a spoon fail to deploy. I like your idea of throwing another grenade next to it. On a range you can't just wait for EOD, you wouldn't want to call the range cold with all that leftover ordnance.
0311 USMC problem with grenades is QC, had a few grenades that fuse lit as soon as pin was pulled, so defective ,now going through your mind at that instant do you really hive 5 seconds till it blows... Hang fires/delayed detonation were also too common.
When you say GHO-1 it almost sounds like G.I. Joe 1, which makes it interesting when you mention the grenade is made more in tune to Western style grenades.
We have the GHO-2 in Arena Breakout, both on the mobile and PC versions (which is essentially Tarkov by Tencent). We tend to prefer it since it can damage and kill players through walls regardless of thickness unlike the M67 and Mk2 frags. Quite nice to see it IRL :)
hey val what are those black/grene gloves you are wearing in the last granade throwing clip i had those years ago but cant find them anywhere and those were the best gloves i ever used. stay save my man greetings from germany!
With the pin on the right it would be easier to pull how you'd throw an M67 if you're left handed. Flip the grenade upside down with the spoon facing in towards your palm of your right hand. Should make pulling the pin less awkward, other than the mentioned flaw.
It's because the Todorov family who own the Arsenal corporation are genetically all left-handed. That's why they keep making weapons designed for lefties, like this grenade and AKs. Fake fact.
Stupid question from someone with zero military experience: why not hold it rotated slightly, so that the spoon goes towards the middle knuckles of fingers instead of palm? Is that a general safety issue? Would it be more dangerous/difficult to throw?
What exactly can be done with such half-activated grenade? Is it possible to simply take it and switch the fuse or its dangerous to even manipulate with it? I also wonder, is there some procedure for these or its just thrown into the bush and hopefully nobody will explode in the future :D
Hello, my description of the thermobaric effect in this specific type wasn't explained accurately, as one acctual explosive expert pointed out in the comments, so I need to redo that part and post it again, it's a small detail, but since chanell is mainly source of information, I can't have mistake like this, especially when it's the only English video on the subject, thank you for watching!
Orient it to hold the spoon with the fingers rather than the palm/web of the hand? Then the ring is facing the left hand. Or is that frowned upon? Idk.
If the ring is on the wrong side just hold it upside down. It's how they train us to throw M67s left handed.
Same with the old Swedish Shgr m/56

imagine being in a trench and you die because you cant find a can opener
Some "flaw" ... something that doesn't kill the enemy but can kill you ... Are you sure the manufacturer doesn't work for the other side ...
These videos rock
Very interesting..
As always.. an educational video.
Could we see something about like the VOG-17 "Khattabka" type munitions or variants.
Wonder what the British Mills bombe was like !
God bless you
great video. i would use those for youtube videos too, unless i had no other option.
That’s a leftie grenade. As a left handed thrower I’d find that quite handy but that’s only like 10% of the population
It's because the Todorov family who own the Arsenal corporation are genetically all left-handed. That's why they keep making weapons designed for lefties, like this grenade and AKs.
Fake fact.
Use teeth to pull pins out, saw it an Hollywood movie.
Stay save
Stupid question from someone with zero military experience: why not hold it rotated slightly, so that the spoon goes towards the middle knuckles of fingers instead of palm? Is that a general safety issue? Would it be more dangerous/difficult to throw?
It is more dangerous. The spoon is your friend and as long as it is secures, you're safe. Spoon agains your palm and you hold on the granade.
Bro i love your videos, I wish i could have something like this at home.
..nothing 'kinda' awkward abouddit...it's criminally awkward...
Soviet bloc weapons are like that s1ut at school you lost v1rg1nity to: cheap, easy, full of flaws, BUT readily available
Wise man say: “The spoon is too big”
З днем незалежності воїне! Дякую за службу!
What exactly can be done with such half-activated grenade? Is it possible to simply take it and switch the fuse or its dangerous to even manipulate with it? I also wonder, is there some procedure for these or its just thrown into the bush and hopefully nobody will explode in the future :D
Today I learned, it is bad to be near a grenade when it explodes.
He was quite close though.
@@kiereluurs1243 not as close as the 1m target.
Remove the pin like you would rack an AK, free hand underneath the grenade.
Your grenades are expired.
If you want to know if its still good, you can put your frags in a bowl of water to see if they float.
Bratan how do you get such box of grenade? Is it provided by military or are you able to aquire yourself as your a military man?
that has happened to the thermobaric grenade video?
Hello, my description of the thermobaric effect in this specific type wasn't explained accurately, as one acctual explosive expert pointed out in the comments, so I need to redo that part and post it again, it's a small detail, but since chanell is mainly source of information, I can't have mistake like this, especially when it's the only English video on the subject, thank you for watching!
@@valgear5525 Ok, thanks a lot for the quick info. Thanks for your hard work!
Orient it to hold the spoon with the fingers rather than the palm/web of the hand? Then the ring is facing the left hand. Or is that frowned upon? Idk.
Liberate the safety pin. Only an eastern European would say something like that 😂😂
lol, its because "to free" or "to release" and "liberate" are the same word in slavic languages.
@@JusufBideovic "slavic languages." , there are many, eastern, central, and southern.
@internetcensure5849 yet my comment can be applied to the vast majority of slavic languages. I'm not just making shit up, druže.
Please make a video explaining what you think the best grenade is!
