Serendipidous - I was just shopping @ P.A. for another of their awesome optics for my new piece. Semper fi.
“Mr. Grenada is our friend so he always goes into the room first, but remember once we pull Mr.Grenada’s pin he is no longer our friend.”
True
Lol
Sorry to ask you this stupid question but I never was in the military and had never the possibility to use toys like this.
What starts the cooking process of Mr. Granada, is it pulling the pin or let go the leverage?
He showed us how to handle that thing but this step was a little bit unclear. I thought it's the pin but I also think it's better to ask than to live with one hand... If you survive it.
@FakkDaPolice It's shown in the video, if you hold the grenade without a pin, as long as you hold the spoon, it won't explode, as soon as the spoon releases, it's like a fuse being lit. Cooking only refers to holding it after the spoon is released
I was carrying an “Airsoft” style pyrotechnic training grenade one time in a random general purpose pouch. While I was running a long distance, the pouch opened up and my grenade was missing. Luckily it wasn’t a real grenade and it was just a $10 firework. But I learned that day that carrying grenades in a proper pouch is essential.
I'm curious if there is any legality to the civilian use of thermobaric distraction devices

Excellent use of footage from the Commando documentary. That training film is greatly underappreciated.
Heh heh... You just gave me a flashback to my ROTC days and using the original 'Red Dawn' to ID Soviet armor; we'd make a game of it to see who could identify what, first. Good times!
Les could you please sneak us a cargo ship full of TAGGIN's complete product lineup into the country 😁 Apparently they almost had approval for alot of their previously banned items before the Russian ammo ban slowed them down, now thew are obviously completely shut off... Man they have some of the best non NFA Pyro and 37mm launched products available! Everyone claims they had the best bangs, multi bangs, M18 smoke copies, and 37mm bangs, smokes, and foams which could even be less lethal in a pinch... This one might require bending the rules though 🤣👍JK
Great documentary for sure. I'm glad the film crew was able to keep up with Matrix and capture his one liners prior to killing many of this daughters captors.
@@Brent0331 Well Bennet did decide to let off some steam and stick around
Everything has changed so much since my Army days. Glad I can still stand up for America as a grenade thrower. M-60 machine gun? Gone. M-60a3 tank? Gone. M-16a1? Gone. Steel pot helmet? Gone. Canned C-rations? Gone. Still have a bunch of P-38 can openers though. Black leather boots? Gone. ALICE Gear? Gone. M-151a3 Jeep? Gone.
If Uncle Sam wants me back I can help in the grenades and washing dishes in the Pot Shack.
Probably my favorite comment 😄👍
Me too , I miss it all! 😅👍💥🔥
If America is attacked by some foreign nation. Uncle Sam can keep his M-16. I got something better. If I survive all of it, I hope the Pentagon and Congress would pin a Combat Infantry Badge on me. Maybe even a Bronze Star. A Silver Star would be even better. That CIB is awesome.
I’m right there with ya
I always wondered what happened to the flamethrower dude?
Brent, more of these infantry videos. They're fantastic.
Thanks
Yes
Interesting to note the new safety clips. Direct result of all the US Casualties from Vietnam caused by hanging grenades off equipment resulting in pins being pulled by foliage. External carry of grenades has always been forbidden in Australia.
In the USAF, we referred to army and marine corps guys dangling grenades on their LC2 suspenders as “tempting Darwin”.
Loved the rambo inserts! Very complete tutorial. Its always a pleasure to learn from such professional instructor.
Thanks
Wait, what? I thought that was Brent in his younger years.
I remember the first time we went to the grenade range. It was the most anti-climatic thing i'd ever seen. Pulled the pin, tossed the grenade, dropped to the ground to look out the little 'window', and a mild blast of dirt into the air. I was like, 'Thats it ?' 🤨
NOTHING like they are portrayed in the movies.
@The Colonel Yep, saw a kid take shrapnel at the frag range because his arm was sticking out past the yellow line.
Yup, as seen in the Hollywood clips I put in this video vs the real footage of my Marines throwing M67 grenades.
I will say, however… seeing what a frag does to a typical residential room full of ikea furniture and sheetrock walls is kinda frightening.
@@SilverShamrockNovelties seeing what a frag does to a maternity ward ranks pretty close as well
In movies the pyrotechnics is closer to napalm than a real grenade
Amazing work as always.
If you're going for a PHD in grenades this is the video you would study.
Appreciate it.
Indeed
There is a lot more to this than I thought. Appreciate the effort and presentation.
Thanks
These are the best videos on RUclips. The quality is even better than actual military materials. Very informative and professional.
Appreciate it brother.
We very well may need this information one day. I
@@MurryRothbeard I had that thought in the back of my mind watching these.
As if my subconscious knows and is preparing me.
I wish there were 'combat training' ranges for citizens: places like a run n gun style range but they also teach you to use current military issue hardware so that if SHTF you can readily know how to use those 'tools' you'll be getting from the local supply sgt etc.
Current War in europe has taught us that training civilians (no, not forced mil service, just training) in using hardware is highly beneficial. From tanks, to M2s, to NLaws, a good country would readily train its people rather than try to squabble about barrel lengths, mag sizes, etc.
That's actually an excellent idea. Maybe talk to some staff at your local National Guard
That's what the reserve is for.
I think we'd be lucky if the military was still operational in a SHTF scenario.. they would probably go rouge and just take your goods, because you can't eat money..
@@Piss-Poor-Infantry I mean its hard to say. I know maybe 100-200 ppl that served, some grunts some high level operators, and some just the desk-jockey ppl giving the high-up commands.
Only 1 or 2 actually had any loyalty to the gov at a strong level. Most others it was a job of convenience/for the benefits/travel.
So I think most would be pro-'The People' and anti-gov. You wouldn't even need to have 1/2 the military on your side. A couple important bases or supply depots/bunker compounds etc and the group would have enough supplies/air support/ ground to be able to counter the gov.
It also emphasizes though why citizens need to be able to have tanks/planes/NLaws/etc: the gov wouldn't hesitate to bomb the populace.
We have that in the british cadets but it's for younger people.
My cousin, in the army, developed an anti, anti tank grenade doctrine to combat all the grenades being thrown at them, his company adopted the tactic when they were in Baghdad.
I also had a buddy in my platoon who had a grenade thrown over an elementary school wall amd detonate 5 feet in front of him, he went untouched.
Press X to Doubt
@@neglectfulsausage7689 I’m not here to fool anyone, you don’t believe me? It’s the internet, I don’t care if you believe me or not…
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Great video as always! Super high production value and excellent info.
Got a few questions for you:
1) What are the approved defensive techniques for infantry against grenade attacks?
2) Misfire proceedure: what happens if you drop a armed grenade next to you or you fail to throw it far enough?
3) Can M203 rifle grenades be used as hand grenades in an emergency?
4) Can mortars really be used as hand grenades in an emergency like that scene from Saving Private Ryan?
5) What's it like being hit by a flashbang or stun grenade?
6) How to evaluate and treat a casualty of a hand grenade?
Although I cannot answer most of these questions, I can answer question number 3 and 4.
First number 3:
M203 grenades have a system built in, that 'arms' the M203 only when it has sufficient spin. There's a couple of spring assisted latches that keep the firing pin in place, until the centrifugal force becomes high enough that it overcomes the spring pressure. Only after that the firing pin can move.
Thus if you throw an M203 grenade it will most likely be completely harmless.
Number 4:
Regarding the mortar rounds, it depends on the type. From my limited knowledge most mortar (and artillery) rounds (ex. M1916) use what are called 'inertia fuses'. Meaning, they will trigger when their forward inertia is suddenly stopped (this makes them very safe to fire, as firing causes a force in the opposite direction to triggering). It would depend on exactly how much inertia is required for them to trigger, whether throwing them would work. Seeing how fast these projectiles come down usually, it is relatively safe to assume that throwing them is likely not enough to trigger them (otherwise they would likely be also quite dangerous to handle by themselves).
Most modern fuses (ex. M734) use electronic ignition systems. These can be set to trigger on certain conditions, but usually only arm with very specific conditions. In the example M734 these are acceleration in the axial direction, and wind stream forces, plus having traveled at least 100 meters from the launcher.
Another relatively common type of fuse are time fuses. With these kinds the propellant charge ignites a time fuse after which the bomb explodes. These might actually work, but it depends on the safety mechanisms employed by the fuze.
The movie uses an M2 60mm mortar. The round used an M49A2. These use the M525 fuze. This is a percussion type device, i.e. it would explode when sufficient force is applied to the cap of the fuze. However, there appears to be some kind of safety mechanism implemented, but it is not entirely clear to me how it works. I believe there is a pin that breaks off when the projectile slides down the barrel, this enables another pin to eject when the projectile then leaves the barrel. A time delay mechanism then arms the device after ~3 seconds.
So perhaps it would be possible to arm this device by manually removing these two pins. Regardless, the way it is done in saving private ryan (hitting the back of the device) would not do anything at all. If these kinds of rounds have a charge inside the tail finds, that would probably catch fire at most.
!) Don't be anywhere near a live grenade, movement is key. dig grenade sumps to kick or push grenades into, metal screening like chicken wire to prevent grenades from being thrown into windows. Shoot them before they throw it. look into MOUT, Basic Infantry tasks and drills, field manuals etc.
2) Kick it away, dive into a prepared fighting positions, crater hole run around hard cover i.e. again movement. Getting away from the kill zone of the over pressure is key and then getting into cover from shrapnel is next. again throw from HARD COVER and throw it right. Open your mouth and Cover your ears, so you are less likely to blow out your teeth and ear drums, again over pressure wave.
3) No very unsafe and would more then likely get you killed while trying.
4) Certain ones but I wouldn't recommend unless in an emergency.
5) Like being hit with an pressure wave from an explosion. Also loud and bright.
6) Usually involves finding what left of the bigger chunks into a pile. If they just caught shrapnel you usually need to stop the bleeding.
I can answer 5: it hurts, you go deaf for a few seconds, your eyes throb and you see a fat spot seaed into your vision for a few mins.
Not quite sure what you mean by approved defensive techniques (like caught in an ambush with grenades thrown at you?) Rely on hard cover and watch your sectors, shoot any contact until they are down, dont pen yourself into cover, build L shapes into trenches so you have corners near you. If you are in situation of open ground, no cover and a grenade comes your way? Lay as flat as possible with head and shoulders facing the grenade if you are wearing helmet and armour, if not, die as quietly as possible.
You can use some mortar rounds like grenades, they're currently dropping them from drones in ukraine with timers on to air blast or just old impact fuses. I've also seen some footage of lunatics over their converting grenades amd launchers so they can fire mortar bombs and rpg rockets.
special forces train so they have almost an immunity to flashbangs, but they are used a lot less these days with newer room entry technique (or this is at least the case in britain and israeli armies)
Very concise, clear and thorough! Thanking you in advance in case I ever end up needing to use one.
Thanks
We need these available to civilians.
Agreed. No more than a background check (and no wait times)
And you will end up with booby trap all over new York, Chicago and LA 😅
There's a few people who don't understand stay off other people's property that I would like to introduce to my best friend, Bouncing Betty.

Those practice grenades are fun. We had a guy in basic that was scared. The Drill made him hold it and had it go off in his hand to show it wouldn’t hurt him. He was crying like a little girl.
just got out of osut a month ago, now way that would have been allowed today lol
A question overheard posed to the Grenade RSO during recruit training at ICT on Parris Island in 1980. Recruit:"Can you pull a pin out with your teeth?"
RSO: "Well, yeah...if you want to lose your teeth."
Thanks for sharing, you Mighty Awesome Devil Dog. ERRAH,!
You can totally pull the pins out with your teeth as long as the pins aren’t bent, there is even footage of it in the yugo civil war.

Did you end up joining?
We're already seeing new methods of deploying RKG-3s, UA forces have been 3D printing fins on them, and dropping them from lightweight commerical drones.
Thanks for sharing!
I don’t like the m67, the spoons aren’t spring leafs the spoons don’t always fly off, we always made sure the spoon came off before we threw them and we didn’t cook them either because the m67 uses a chemical delay and they were god knows how old and we worried about the time delay in hot and cold weather, unsure if the delay would stay the same, speed up or slow down. In rooms we would try to bounce them around off the walls instead of cooking them and try to throw a few in at the same time.
Is there a manual about these malfunctions?
@@eveliinatistelgren172 Basically if they don't go off wait until E.O.D. bomb disposal can get them or you will have to use c4 yourself to blow them up on site.
@@eveliinatistelgren172 I don’t know, probably not.
@@nelson0110 Why is there not a manual of arms for this like magpul dynamics began doing for the AR?
@@eveliinatistelgren172 I agree with you, the military should really create a new program to experiment with new unorthodox tactics and listen to feedback to develop new equipment and Training and develop better field manuals, I’d make them like a comic book.
I like the frag sleeve idea on those older stick grenade designs. Very intuitive. During ww1 and even in ww2 soldiers would use the stick grenades as a sort of improvised club for trench fighting. The stick handle also allowed for farther throwing distances. Great weapon design all in all.
I loved that vid , on the last prone throw you didn't follow through Brent , it a baseball, I was tolled "strike em out full range of motion "
There’s something about the RGD5 that is just so aesthetically pleasing
Wow! This was really thorough and well stated, you're a good teacher. 👍
Brent is the Platoon SGT we all wanted
Been waiting for the infantrymen videos for a while! Sweet!
I was just here for some research for a while. Thank you for the videos you made about tactics. Good luck with the channel.
Also I would Like to Share that the M24 Stick Grenade Has A Anti-Tank Variant which is The M24 Anti Tank Bundle which it has 6 Grenades tide together in A Single Stick Grenade
In FDF we were taught to through a prone from a Chameleon pushup position. In essence we were chest down, Grenade hand straight against your leg, throw is done by keeping your hand straight during the throw (motion might remind you of a trebutchet) and letting go at 70' angle. This provided the best result in distance.
Seems like the US Marine/Army is very safety conscious in relation, I doubt that you could throw nearly as far that way but on the other hand you would be a bit less likely to mess up and get a face full of metal.
I love this serice learned a lot so far
Great channel!
Thank you Brent. Outstanding information.
Thanks
I've never heard of grenades with parachutes. I think that's just sick.

Great video Brent, informative as always 👍
Thanks
Great training video devil dog. Semper Fi
Appreciate it brother.
Around 2:50 it might be interesting to note that currently AFAIK the F1 and RGD5 are still in service, but both serve different purposes. The F1 is meant as a defensive type grenade, whilst the RGD-5 is meant for offensive operations. Offensive grenades mostly differ by having a shorter range for their shrapnel, and shrapnel is designed to wound. The RGD-5 has a claimed fatality radius of 3M, and wounding radius of 25M, whilst various sources claim that F1 fragments can reach up to 200m, but effective radius up to 30m.
As he says in the video, the current idea of the difference between offensive and defensive grenades is that offensive rely on concussion effect and not shrapnel.
Thanks for the content, legible and to the point.
Learned alot. Thanks Brent

Can you make a video on packing packs and items you’d consider essential and comforts for tactical situations?
Breathing grenade smoke inside buildings really sucks too. Funky black boogers for days.
much appreciated, a video about smoke grenades would be great too!
We were eventually told grenade cooking is more trouble than it's worth. Grenades are used mainly in a room with exits with guns pointed at them, to shift men from cover into the path of guns pointed at them or to ambush when the enemy mostly wont have enough reaction time to see and escape a thrown grenade. Use grenade launchers if you want the impact effect, hand grenades are too unreliable to cook. The throwing back thing is largely a myth, I'm not saying it doesnt happen but it's not something even 1 in a thousand soldiers will face.
Good video as always marine thanks for the video

RGD-5, RG-42 and F1 are still used by Polish military :) You should talk about RGO and RGN too because they're such an interesting impact grenades
Great videos.
Thanks
can you cover grenade trip wires? always been interested to see how they are set up
I always loved the smell of the M-18 smoke grenade, even the CS has a distintive smell, the effects are awesome for cleaning out your sinuses, it burns like h*ll, but you feel great once it wears off,,....yeah,... I was a Ranger😁
Great, stuff
Lol I had a ton of those dummy grenades when I was a kid. I still have a few. I can still hear that wonky whiffle ball sound.
lol yup.
@@Brent0331 lol I even went as far as going around the house and taking springs out of flashlights and stuff to put up under the spoon.
Like always great content
Thanks

Lemon grenade? Should've called it the lime grenade lol.
Good stuff
Nice! Very informative. I guess I'll practice with some potato throwing
:)
Thumbs up! 👍👍👍👍Semper Fi
What I wouldn’t give for a box of m67s. I loved throwing them.
outstanding video, I would like to add not all grenades were built the same way for example RG-4, also I would like to add Thermobaric Hand Grenade GHTB or Russian version RG-60TB
Maybe I missed it, but besides the issued M67, we also used the M33 gernades in RVN. As I recall, the M33 was issued in a case of 30 gernades. They were sometimes called "Baseballs" due to size and shape. By the way, as I recall, there was another tear gas gernade that was less effective. The CS was known to mean "Chicken Sh--". Good training video. Semper Fi
The M67 is the M33, my understanding is the M33 was the 1st iteration and the only difference between the two was the addition of the safety "thumb clip".
Thank you
Best part of this video, he identifies Marines and soldiers as separates. A lot of people would call Marines and soldiers....
Infantryman’s guide to tactical backpack nukes and nuclear landmines
Not quite there yet.
@@Brent0331 they hand the nuclear tank landmine during the Cold War I believe maybe I’m imagining things lol
Cook off an air burst. Expert🥇
it seems like the ring on the pin
would easily get snagged on stuff.
causing them to go off.
I really. really like grenades.
The practice grenade: Infantrymen playing with their blue balls. Someone didn’t think that one through 😜
Distinguishing friendly and enemy is simple: ones you've thrown are friendly. Ones coming to you are enemy xD
Any suspicion that a smoke grenade may contain white phosphorus is cause for concern. There was a fire department instructor who had what he thought was a white smoke grenade he was going to use as a training aide. It wasn't smoke, It was a white phosphorus grenade. He didn't throw it, but just dropped it to the ground. Cannot recall the model, but he suffered 3rd degree burns over 80% of his body. Best I recall, he died of his injuries weeks later.
I remember doing a bunch of pushups after being informed I couldn’t under most conditions throw a grenade beyond it’s probable kill radius.
DI‘s we’re never as polite as I’m the grenade range.
I must have missed the WP or " Willy Pete" or M34. We used a few of those......
13:00 Damn they flagged the shit out of each other LMAO
