How the fuck are grenades deadly? All they do is release compressed air, at the most all they should do is push you back a bit.

user, I...

He has a point, you know. And I've legit never seen an actual grenade used IRL.

Compressed air is actually very toxic if you breathe it. If you don't believe me, go snort some compressed air and come back.

The grenade dilates very hard.

So what you are saying is that all you need to do in order to survive a grenade blast is to hold your breath?

Shrapnel, and the shockwave can rupture organs. Clears people away from an area and the noise disteacts them. Also has a psychological effect but i suppose its no worse than already being shot at.

the force of the explosion is enough to send any man reeling or flying backwards
plus the shrapnel of the grenade itself is actually the deadliest part, sending shards of metal and plastic cutting into flesh and bone
Fragmentation grenades have more shrapnel than HE grenades (which have minimal shrapnel but more explosive force)

they actually are deadly because they release nerve gas

Yup. Or even better, jump into a large body of water like a pool or lake if you are near. The air can not go through the water so will be safe.

How Do People Die From Grenades Ahahahaha Just Walk Away Nigga Hahahaha

Its the sharpnel that kills you idiot

to survive a grenade you should - take cover - if cover is not around then get on the ground with your back to the blast in the hopes that whatever armor you have on will eat the shards of shit that is coming at you - open your mouth and exhale while you cover your ears - this allows the air in your lungs to be expelled by the shockwave easier while providing "some" ear protection - if you hold your breathe it will make things worse as the force will fuck you up from the inside like you're a balloon

>All they do is release compressed air
Like those airguns at the fair?

What if I jump on top of the grenade? Like Captain America did?

I thought going prone minimizes your profile and gives you more of a chance to avoid the oncoming shrapnel from the blast
you're pretty fucked in an enclosed space though

Where does the shrapnel come from retard? Is it magically created out of thin air?

Wow. Nice spoiler asshole. Use spoiler tag.

the entire grenade is the shrapnel
they're not just filled with explosives, the casing itself is the most dangerous part of it, even

You'll save your friends but definitely die. Your body will prove an effective shock absorber as you are reduced to a chunky paste.

You know how loud sounds can rupture your eardrums? Well imagine a REALLY loud sound and instead of just your eardrums it's your guts and brain. Along with that, shrapnel flying everywhere and shit in the environment being launched every which way.

>The entire grenade is shrapnel
Yeah, just like the entire bottle of a molotov cocktail is fire. Served two tours. Don't make shit up.

>force of the explosive is strong enough to obliterate a human body
>shockwave will rupture organs
>casing becomes sharpnel which will kill at a greater distance than the actual explosion

if anything, most games don't properly represent a grenade.

even the tiniest bit of shrapnel can cause havoc at appropriate speeds
there's a lot of tiny pieces of shrapnel in grenades
the casing just helps supplements the shrapnel by being MORE shrapnel

That sounds like the better option. Sacrifice yourself and die as a hero. At least when the alternative is to suffer from very heavy internal damage and suffer immensely. But I wouldn't do it if I had a family.

No matter how good a tour guide you are, grenades seem outside your field of expertise, come back once you have been in the military.

Fucking idiot. Just press RB and throw the grenade back, retard.

shrapnel is deadly when propelled at high velocities.

What do you think happens to all the material containing the so called compressed air?

yes this is true - you just want your back exposed to the blast and not your stomach and sometimes laying flat isn't an option depending on the gear you are wearing or the weapon you have or the terrain/building you are in - in any case, back to the blast so your ballistic armor takes the brunt of the force, either prone or tucking your legs in front and head down to make as much a ball as you can with your back to the blast so the plate takes the brunt and you protect your eyes/face and chest area

You served no one but yourself and the MIC

Same. Can confirm grenades are a joke, mostly just used to scare people into abandoning their position. I remember chucking a live grenade under the new guy's bunk and the look on his face was priceless as soon after it went off.

Why don't you just move with the shrapnel? If you run at the same speed of the blast the relative momentum of the bits can't hurt you.

why don't people just pick up the grenade and then cup it on their hands real hard, if you don't let it break apart into shrapnel then it can't hurt you

>lol just run at the speed of sound bro
>just like go really fast

Thanos dies, Ironman uses the infinity gauntlet to kill him

All humor is people pretending to be retarded. Deal with it.

Based retard

I always just figured I could look away from the blast and it wouldn't really hurt me.

Ah I see, carry on.

That's why you run backwards while yelling. Your sound waves will push you forward.

What a waste. They should fill the entire grenade with explosive instead.

Yes.

Did you just wildly click on posts to reply to?

Half the time people use this, it’s because they’re too autistic to understand dumb jokes and double down on their retardation. Even if a normal person didn’t know how air pressure works, they’d still understand that grenades do more than just blast you with compressed air.

You don't have to run THAT fast, just fast enough that the relative momentum of the shit being flung at you is soft enough to not hurt you.

the USMC ran trials on that with McNamara but found that the great monetary and timewise costs of the troops' stamina training outweighed just letting them die in the rare event of an enemy grenade landing close to them

Typical European education.

Facts don't care about your feelings. Snowflakes.

My dad died in Antarctica you fuck, fell out of a guard tower

Reminder that they're called fragmentation grenades for a reason, not shrapnel grenades. They are not the same thing, kind of like how people misuse clip and mag.

whats the difference between fragments and shrapnel?

the grenade is made to be easily splintered by the explosion and sending shrapnels into your rib cage

The main charge that's packed into the interior is removed for that inside view.

The same difference between getting a flu shot and getting pierced with shrapnel. They both go into your skin and make you hurt real bad but one is worse than the other.

Then you'll be assigned super soldier serum, provided you're still alive.

It's kind of like the Sunnys, and the Shits. If you're not a muslim, it doesn't make a difference.

I know you're trying to cute, but in case somebody gets tricked: This guns literally is designed to function in burst mode once a stock is attached to it.
>HOW?!
Clever mechanical design.

You can legit feel your body shake from 40 away through a concrete wall. The concussion alone if your close enough will rupture organs and bones. The fragments are even more deadly.

And if you think compressed air isn't dangerous take a compressed air hose, touch it to your skin and pull the trigger (don't actually do this).

holy fuckkkk losin my shit haha, that turkey totally munchin down on that pizza

woah

The shockwave alone will turn your insides to jelly, especially inside a building

t. Found the site last week linked from reddit

Yet it's true. Newfags are and always will be newfags.

Don't actually do this, it creates mustard gas

Why the fuck don't they put bullets in the grenades? So when it blows it shoots actual bullets?

this entire thread have so much bait in it it's not even funny anymore

Why don't they just make grenades bigger? If they're filled with air and light just make them the size of coconuts.

newfags are actually just the people who don't "get" the old culture/humour of this website and believe everything here is genuine. True oldfags never out themselves, because we understand what goes on here

Because then the explosion would be less compressed so it wouldn't be as strong you dumb guy

I've never held a grenade fragment in my hand but I imagine they're probably larger and certainly more jagged and fucked up than a rifle bullet.

>as he says the cringiest thing in this thread.

Okay, then why not shoot grenade fragments out of guns?

Yes kek absolutely cring my dude well meme'd rofl

because bullets need to be aerodynamic
grenades are relatively short range, their fragments are comparable in power to handgun bullets, they can be stopped by kevlar

does that mean if you coated a grenade in kevlar it wouldn't explode

That would be silly. You wouldn't be able to aim the bullet after throwing the grenade.

>true oldfags never out themselves because we understand what goes on here
Wow sensei teach me more of your venerable Yea Forums ways.

the pressure would rupture the kevlar but it would probably make it less destructive yeah
