Yes.
Call of Duty game? Or the real "call of duty"?
In call of duty you can reload a Rocket launcher in 2 seconds, i mean, it's CoD, the worst fps now
Lmao, dude, search and destroy, i threw a grenade on bog, it went over a fence, rolled through 2 doorways and killed someone in a room for round ending kill.

The instructor puts his hand on the head of every trainee as they duck. You just know that is because someone in the past stood up (too soon) to see what happened.
So tempting!
What happens?
@@absolutejazz1676 Nothing happens! Maybe some sand in your eye, in the air, if you throw it weak. However, when throwing an incendiary or flash grenade, it can blind you for a moment. So after throwing such, duck and cover! That's another reason why they teach you to duck and "cover."

When the pin is pulled, Mr.Grenade is not our friend.
@Victor Flores Same
Actually you can alwayd put back the pin..... Butif the spool is released thats a completely different story
I fucking died that comment made my morning
H reyes if i remember correctly it’s forbidden to put it back as it’s a major safety risk.
No, pull the pin and letting go of the lever will cause it to cook not just pulling the pin alone.
The concussive force on those things is INTENSE. Video games and movies downplay it, but even with full gear, a flak vest on, AND crouched down behind 3 feet of concrete, you can feel the shockwave go THROUGH your entire body and almost rattle your teeth inside your skull. The lethality of these things is nuts.
How does a shockawave penetrate 3 feet of concrete
Your body may still pick atmospheric/sound/vibration in such an open area due to proximity. People get sick just from slight barometric pressure changes. Factor in the adrenaline of handling such things.
@@smokescreen2146 the shockwave will go around the concrete and fill in the cavity, just at a lesser force than if it had no barrier. but you 100% feel it pound in your chest and head even behind that concrete wall
I actually came here to check the verisimilitude of some gameplay footage. I saw a grenade send a bunch of men flying 10 feet in the air and thought, "grenades do not have that kind of force."
I'm wondering if you know just what the damage would look like amongst a group of men. I always imagined it would more tear their extremities apart than concussively fling them in the air, no?
@@smokescreen2146Same way seismic waves penetrate the earth. A shock wave actually passes faster through a solid than the air. I have been inside a completely enclosed concrete bunker (with the door shut) while setting off 1kg C4 basic charges.We felt a big shock wave every time, even inside all that concrete. Imagine being inside a large tube, and a giant slaps his hands hard on both ends - it was sort of like that. I was quite surprised the first time. (Plus gained some new respect for the raw power of C4.)
I loved the part the grenade actually got into the target zone. The voices in the background 100% impressed.
I like the “woowoowoowoowoo” sound the grenade makes when throwing it
I think it’s more of a wouwouwouwouwou
Bed that’s the practice Grenade whistles in the bottom
It's more like "wuwuwuwuuwuwuw"
It’s more like wOuwuWuwuUuuwOuuwuuuuuuuu

Imagine forgetting to pull the pin, throwing the grenade, and then the enemy just picks it up, pulls the pin and returns it to its previous owner...
China-Sickness, Exactly ! When I served, after seeing and understanding what they do, I was deathly afraid of grenades. You don't know when one is going to hit you, until it's almost too late. That's why I learned a lot about them. Also, I'm guessing such a situation you described must have happened in the past !
Michael Best
Actually no, it hasn’t happened to me. I’ve never served but I’m contemplating it. That’s what brought me to this video
@@china_sickness7005 Oh! Okay. I don't know what you are thinking about the military, so I can't say much to you. If you DO enlist, then learn as much as you can, but you can rely on your OWN thoughts too! Listen to your trainers. Learn what they teach you, for your OWN safety ! Have common sense, is mostly what I would share with you.
You are lucky. When I enlisted in the 1980's I didn't have this big WWW or many friends that I could talk to, before enlisting. I just got a knock on my parents door from a recruiter, and then I was off on this long bus ride to basic training.
Imagine getting killed for rich people
@@couchpoet1 hard life
The way they teach you to throw a grenade is like they assume you've never thrown a ball in your entire life. It amazed me when I was in ITR back in the day.
lol yeah.. its a death ball.. little more precaution
Its not a ball its force and fire and shrapnel packed into one tiny ball
Because that is a heavy and dangerous ball and should be thrown in a way that it goes good enough distance and does not drop while throwing. That's why throwing technique is also taught.
@@NARUTO-wq3ky you just said it was a ball but not at the same time
It's not surprising they teach people like that considering some of the throws we just saw. Some of these guys throw like a girl.
once a legend said
"If the pin is pulled Mr Grenade is not your friend"

Trying to make viewers idiot
Reference to Terry Pratchett: When Mister Safety Catch Is Not On, Mister Crossbow Is Not Your Friend,' recited Detritus, saluting (2002)(COD4 2007)
It’d make more sense if it said once you let go of the lever cause the pin just keeps the lever in place. Once the lever is let go if will trigger an explosive reaction in a few seconds
I still have the pin from the first grenade I threw in '91
Amazing 😀😀😀
The year I was born!
Ohh i really envy you
Actually in s.korean army, we have to hand in the pin after throwing grenade to clear whether the guy threw grenade properly.
So i don't have the pin which from my first -and last- grenade.
Inferno EV you are immature and disrespectful.
@Inferno EV well u must be fun at parties.
I had to work the grenade range while at Ft Leonardwood. This was the only range I hated working. I had 1 PVT not even make it out of the bunker. I grabbed her and tossed her out the back. The grenade went off just as I landed on top of her for cover. She then complained I threw her to hard, and that when she hit the ground she claimed she got whiplash. The DS backed me up and basically told her through about 30 minutes of corrective training, that if I didnt do that, she wouldnt have to worry about corrective training anymore.
In the RAF I went to senalagar in Germany which is where the army trains, I had a chance to throw grenades, first you practice with tennis balls...easy peasy. After that we had two sets of boxes one with the detonator in and the other the main body that fragments, screwing them together brings a whole new reality to the equation! I’ve seen many men really get nervy when it’s a bomb you throw. The range warden was a warrant officer on his last posting before retiring who took exceptional care of the Range and had planted several sunflowers and other flowers off to the extreme left of the throwing area of the targets. And yes one airman got so nervous at throwing he launched the Grenade off to the left and utterly destroyed his flower patch!! Much to our amusement and his annoyance. Though this might amuse anyone who reads it and it was true. And no it wasn’t me!
Were you RAF Reg or an Armourer? I was an Aircraft Techie and we did nothing.. no pistol, no GPMG or LSW and no grenades. When I was in a posting and rank that got me out of guard duty, I didn’t fire a single live round in years.
Crab Air always did fly sideways ….
You see hollywood, a real grenade does not create a massive fireball like in the movies. Everytime a grenade goes off in a movie, an entire house engulfs in flames and the propane tank explodes for special effects while the main characters walk away without even flinching
Maybe it had a really spicy dinner
Tell that to viewers.
Yeah but this is pretty unspectacular
Also the people around it won't walk away like nothing happened 😂
Tristan Hartman , I’m just saying you are right but they do create but I’m just saying that’s a practise grenade not a real one.
‘Hey does anyone know where the pin is for my grenade? I can’t find it anywh-‘
Oops
Hey just found....... it.......shit
Stop making me laugh
@Yee Memes
Isn't that what lights the fuse? It starts to "count down" after you let go of the clip/handle looking thing, right?
Tony ASA no. That metal clip on the side is what starts the fuse. It’s called the “spoon”, I think. The pin holds it secure and once the pin is pulled you can either release the spoon or throw it and the spoon falls off.
In 1964 we did this training in the South African Army using the Mills Grenade. The motion, the control and the manner of throwing was exactly the same. This of us who had played cricket and bowled a cricket ball were able to throw the grenade a lot further.
Same for Americans that played baseball. You can tell the guys who haven't real quick.
I will never forget my first time throwing live grenades. It's carved into the memory. When the priest threw his, it exploded at the top of its arc. Another fellow pulled his pin before the drill instructed him to; when the drill screamed at him, the trainee panicked and flipped it over the protecting wall, but it simply landed on top of the sandbags surrounding the protecting wall. The drill stood, grabbed it, and threw it properly. Then the entire range shut down.

@@brandoncook67 No - at that time enlistment was down. Almost no one was sent home then.

not every grenade is the same, there are some that are incendiary and some that are phosphorus but regardless i have yet to see Hollywood do a real grenade in a movie and I get it, they need the explosion and graphics, also they don't seem to care that you can't throw a grenade as far as they show in movies lol
@@alphasheep7116 YOU BETA SHEEP! YOU TOLD HIM "There Are Many Types" Of Grenades.. now, you're telling me all grenade are normal (the first caps was for sarcasm tho)
I like the sound it produces as it flies away
Andreas Hoppe those are the training dummies. They have holes on the bottom, you hear the wind whistling over the hole as it is thrown.
The only sound you want to hear in the pit is 'oops!'
That is the sound of Freedom
Dude i thought it was a bird
It's Nerf or nothing!
We had to do this as part of our training in Army basic back in 1969. Later, in infantry AIT, we got to use M-79 grenade launchers, lots of fun.
Ft. Knox, Basic, Ft Ord, 11B 1970...
The M-203 replaced the M-79 by the time I got in, but those were fun.

In the Australian Army, 50 years ago, we were trained to always throw, or rather ‘lob’ with a straight arm. This meant that the grenade was more likely to not skip over a foxhole.
In the US Army we were taught to throw straight arm only if we were lying on our back. Otherwise, it was a baseball throw.

I remember trying not to be the one to mess this up, so I practiced taking it out of the pouch, etc. When it came time to actually do it with the SSGT, I pulled it out so fast it dropped on the ground (with the pin still in). The SSGT yell, "Woah, you are effn' nervous, Pvt.?!" I told him, "no, but it is my 20th birthday..." Now, it's one that we'll both never forget (2008). I couldn't tell you if I threw in the designed area, but I did throw it over the wall!
I remember that exercise. My muscle memory told my body I was throwing firecrackers as a 12 year old kid so I kinda forgot to duck down. After my Lt pulled me down on the ground he had let say some strong words for me.

I was surprised the weight and sound of the grenades. Claymore also.
In the Army, we were instructed to throw them like a shotput. You cocked your arm with the grenade in your fist, held right behind your ear. If you drew your arm backwards, you failed. Reason for this is it’s all too easy to wack your hand on the back side of the trench, a branch, another soldier, anything that could cause you to drop it at your feet. We also had practice grenades that were heavy, hollow dummies with spoon, fuse, and a blasting cap inside. We had to throw them over a wire that was suspended fairly high up in the air and far out from our position. That would guaranty that you were throwing it far enough so you weren’t in the blast radius. They were heavy and difficult to throw in that arc, in that manner. After throwing a live one, each man would get to stand behind a bulletproof enclosure to watch the guy behind him in line, throw his, so we could see the explosion. White flash and some smoke. No Hollywood fireball.
You miss the words "Fire in da hole!"
Yeah, fire in the hole very loudly with strangely low sound quality
Counter stryk😂
But there is no hole there ... How would they were say those words...
Gamingshark 049 Because when a grenade explodes it
shatters in a million small pieces (that’s what causes the real damage) and they don’t want any sharp metal pieces piercing their faces.
Frag out is the proper command.
Imagine your the instructor and the marine your teaching hands u the grenade and says "Sir I cant find the pin."

I thought that the thrower was supposed to observe where the thrown grenade had landed before fully lowering themselves down to cover?

The M69 grenade is used for grenade training to safely simulate the M67 grenade. The fuze screws into the body, and is replaceable after use. The simulator produces a report and a small puff of white smoke when employed.
The M69 has a blue-painted lever and a blue body with white markings. This is to indicate that it is a safe practice grenade rather than a live fragmentation grenade like the M33 or M67.

Me on the first day on the job 💥
When I was in boot camp, I was surprised at how hard it was to actually get any real distance throwing these. They are heavier than they look - and it's especially hard to throw when you're all geared up. But that "crunch" could be heard and felt across the whole island.
Yep, they are surprisingly heavy. I played a lot of baseball before joining and watching it fly far shorter than I hoped was an eye opener.
Same here. The movies always make them seem like they are a hardball and you can throw it like one. That is most definitely not the case. I always felt it would have better for training if dummy ones were available so you get a feel of the heft. Then have several throws, before a live throw.
We had guy who was from Jamaica and had done alot of cricket. He did a cricket style throw which freaked out the training NCO's. Thing was that he launched the thing so far it landed at the extreme end of the range. In this case there was a small decline, so if he managed another foot or so it would have rolled off.
That's why we added grenade throwing to the annual combat fitness test and practice now. Some folks just can't throw.
@Wilmer X20 I don't remember that being an issue, as much, but then again.. we all held it with a death grip. It's a good fit for hand-size.. but the weight makes it more unwieldy than you would expect. This, of course, is why they have you do it for real .. you don't want the first time you ever have to throw one to be when you need to do it for real.
In high school we had 16 pound shotputs. So for some of us throwing a grenade was absolutely like throwing a baseball. Sorry you didn’t have the same strength training we had in high school which allowed us to toss them like a baseball.
Boy, does this ever bring back memories. I remember being on the range in Boot Camp at Fort Ord California in June 1971. There was a guy that dropped a live one on the throw, and the DI had to do his hero thing’ and save the day. Dang, I do miss those days. 🫤
Lmao how badly did the recruit get chewed out?
This is nostalgic. Really brings back memories. I kept the pin I pulled from my grenade. still have it.
Only American grenades sing after being thrown
Osyas Nice profile pic
Bet
That singing you hear is only from the blue practice grenades. There is a hole in the bottom that allows for the firing cap placed inside to explode and simulate the detonation after throwing. Those grenades are designed to be reused again and again with just replacing the firing cap. As the grenade flies down range, the air flows over this hole and causes that singing sound you hear. It's like blowing across the top of an open bottle or jug. Real grenades don't have that hole in the bottom because it's actually full of real grenade blowy up stuff.
Slayer Mack this explanation was so nice and seemed so well done
Right up until the end when blowy up stuff was the word you chose for what was inside the grenade
Ace WMD sorry. I looked it up and it’s actually called kablooey stuff. My bad.
Good thing no one dislocated their throwing arm just before release.
If I were an enemy and at war with these soldiers. I'd want the first few to be the ones throwing grenades at me. lol
@@LeSnickasaurus Well the shrapnel from the nades is lethal up to 40m so Im pretty sure youd be dead with and of those guys throwing.
KingVDT519 If you notice, there’s that little slab of concrete behind em just in case that kind of fuckup happens. The drill instructor is supposed to toss you out & jump out, to take cover behind that slab. I’m glad I didn’t do anything that dumb in basic 😂
I’d be cautious as hell throwing those lol. Im clumsy.
The drill sergeant can just pick it up and throw it away.
This is how I blast grenades in Diwali...😂
I remember throwing a live granade first time in the finnish military. I was exited and a bit nervous because training granades were used and the pin was much tighter than in real granades which were not used before.
I swear, if I get drafted, I’ll say “KOBE” whenever I throw a nade so the last thing a person hears is that.

This comment aged well
It's obvious that guys' throwing live grenades for the first time. When you do it for the first time you think not about the distance and accuracy, but about how not to blow yourself up.
If right now give that guys just a mockup of this grenade the same weight and demensions - they will show absolutely other results in distance and accuracy.
asking_price it can't be there first. They throw them in boot camp.
asking_price that's what I said . They don't train grenade throwing for shit in United States. It should be as often as rifle training . Helps with panicking during real situations.
I hope you're right, because otherwise this is pretty sad. I don't know what they've been teaching them since the 10 years that I was in the corps, but back then we could at least throw better than your average high school baseball team. These guys, not so much either this is their first time, or their pogs.
asking_price yes....when i did that for the 1st time i was scared to be honest....i just wanted to trow that thing as far away as possible hahaha.
@@markbulgarin1488 Obviously if any sane person pull the pin for the first time, they will be scared as hell and can lose their shit if not accompanied with an instructor.
Some good form there guys. Great job.
The way to reach the "kill zone" is to use your body weight behind your throw, INSTEAD of all this "prepare to throw" (lean back, extending the opposite arm stuff ) That's mostly for range and safety information. The Army teaches this very similarly too. Look at how far the target is; understand it, and put your body behind it. Throw the grenade high and even most people should be able to lob it there.

I remember the instructor telling me to keep my arm straight and I felt that I could throw it harder if I threw it like a baseball. Got stressed out and confused and threw with a combo of the two methods and the grenade landed just 3 feet in front of us, on the other side of the barrier. Didn’t make a lot of friends that day

Grenades are the definition of small but deadly
I remember when hand grenades were thrown in the army, so it was a little scary at first. We didn't throw practice grenades because they were banned. A practice grenade had exploded earlier in someone's hand. The training grenade has the same detonator, but it has a different body, which contains no explosive or metal. We were thrown directly real grenades. I had to listen to the instructor's instructions very carefully.
Grenades exploding in most FPS Games: *explodes with a little fire*
Grenades exploding in real life: *exploding smoke*
Well actually it also launches small bullets all around the area which makes it lethal
Early on, movie directors starting using gasoline for explosions because it was cheap, easy to get, relatively safe, and looked cool, and in the days when filming anything was a major undertaking, few people had ever seen a real bomb going off. Now a burst of bright orange flame is cemented in the zeitgheist as what an explosion looks like.
@@skyloh258 Technically, the things that a grenade launches when it explodes are not called "bullets". They are called "shrapnel". And, yes, being hit with the stuff we call "shrapnel" is very much like being hit by the bullets that are fired by guns. It is lethal. Also, the explosion itself would probably be very destructive even without the shrapnel.
The explosion of a fragmentation grenade is just the violent expansion of gasses. The rest is the shrapnel spreading around as fast as actual bullets.

The most virgin 'joke' I've ever heard. Hats off
Brxndo - Topic e
I did some dangerous stuff in the army reserves including working with c4. The only thing that ever made me nervous was grenades.
George Costanza: “THAT’S GOTTA HOIT!!!”
0:41 that looks like a grown version of the “I’m a future army soldier” kid
Bruh they moved hella fast
That would be fucking awesome
Plot twist: it is the kid
US Army*
I think he became a SoundCloud rapper or smthn
I'll always remember that concussion and how the shrapnel rained back down.
even u suffered from concussion
.
Same here man. Doing it irl was so much scarier than movies would lead you to believe.
My boot took shrapnel from one when I was 200-300 yards away....
Same here...experienced it in Marine bootcamp
I remember being in a shrapnel shower. The grenade blasts also throw shrapnel in the air. We could hear it on the tin roof where we picked up our frags then feel it raining on you in the ready line. Since it was small pieces it didn’t injure us but it was a trip to hear the tapping on my steel pot. I don’t recall even being remotely afraid, just extremely excited. We did have an idiot eventual chapter out the dropped it over the wall. We ducked behind the ready line wall and could hear the big pieces of shrapnel hit the wall
I remember in tire town doing MOUT training, one of my fireteam took a piece of shrapnel in his neck. Blood was only spraying out every few seconds. The corpsman got some training that day also.
TEAMWORK
Legend has it that a soldier once killed 15 enemies with only the pin of a grenade.
What a legend
@@yacobshelelshaddai4543 It's really quite remarkable. They're making a movie about him. Pinhead Kilzalot is his name, if you're curious.
You old salt dogs can talk shit on the way they are throwing but it isn't really a trained action. They just handed me the grenade and told me to get in line lmao. Plus can you blame these dudes? This is probably the first time they've ever handled something that if handled incorrectly could very well kill them and anyone around them. I wouldn't be too worried about my throwing power and accuracy during something like this. I'd be worried about the steps and procedure and safety more than anything else. Smh.
Nigel Thornberry Yep. The 1st time you have that fucker right by your head, all you can think is “away from me! away from me!” That second or two before they tell you to throw it seems like an eternity 😂
Lol thank you guys for your service XD
Agreed 100%
My Gpa is a retired Gunny and I love hearing his stories
Nigel Thornberry just about everything is about procederal compliance and safety. Been pounded into my mentality since day 1. Was bit shocked but o well.
TheKanjiX same lol. On our frag range we didn't even have black markers for range and accuracy. We had an empty pit lmao. But the instructors didn't care how accurate we were they just didn't want us to blow them up.
I got anxiety watching this
Braelin Grill you have no idea lol
Braelin Grill imagine how the instructors feel lmao
Why? Grenades are safe as long as you hold the lever down
@@Finlandpro1 You really think that's the reason? Lol
@@spartankongcountry6799 I mean I did ask why didnt i?
I will never forget the sheer weight of the M67. Throwing grenades is also one of the very few things both Marines and Soldiers do the same in every regard.
Using bayonets
I've never seen the effects of grenades on actual people until the ukraine/russian war. Its amazing how in the movies people are blown 50ft in the air by them, but in reality people just drop to the floor. What's also insane from the grenades being dropped on boats, is just how far the shrapnel extends. The kill zone is huge!
"Never gets old when something blows up."
Neither do the people who get blown up
Done my grenade training 10 years ago during my national service, it's tougher than it looks honestly, since i couldn't throw it that far, but i can still remember one of my platoon mate's grenade didn't go off and they disposed of it in full EOD suit using a C4, so it was a interesting experience seeing a grenade and C4 explosion in the same day
That's a hell of a way to deal with UXO, but I can understand why
@@JetFalcon710 EOD guys and combat engineers can literally solve any problem with C4
Same, had to stay there for one hour waiting for the EOD to do their job
@@etvonrashke3763 this is fucking hilarious
@@Lo-tf6qt Remind me not to call EOD when I get locked out of my apartment.
I remember being QUITE surprised by how big of a boom they make. They're a lot more powerful than I expected.
I can't forget the swat cop that throws a grenade and hits the edge of the door bouncing back at them and going off. I imagine someone short and throw the grenade hitting the top of the concrete shield and bouncing back at them. That instructor would be every man for himself and get out of there.
1:55 "aww man BOOM" sounds funny to me the way he says it
I remember throwing my grenade through a roof vent and killed someone camping on the stairs. lol
Same but I got sent to jail for that afterwards
@@joeloks844 mine just gave me 120 points for the kill.
Did it happen to be at a place called “Coastline”?
Oh yeah in nuketown
Are you sledge?
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Imagine the last grenade slips to his hand. 😂
Everyone a gangsta until an object reflects it back
Often happens in PUBG 😂
Instructor : Pull the pin soldier
Soldier : which pin sir ?
The end
“I got no pin with my grenade sir.”

No soldiers in the video.
I was in the Army and these guys are far more nonchalant & loose about going through this practice then we were in the 1970s.
