Why would hand grenades not be covered in that super bouncy rubberball material?
Because you generally want your grenades to stay where you threw them to.
>>65457832Cause then literally 100% of throws would have a solid chance of hitting something at just the right angle to bounce back to where the thrower threw itAmong other reasons
>>65457832I learned why that's a terrible idea playing perfect dark as a kid
Surely someone was paid money to do extensive testing as to articulating why this is a bad idea. Bring us the bouncy-bomb files.
>>65457832>why would we not want our exploding hot potato of death to be extremely unpredictable (for the user as much as anyone) in where it finally ends up when it swiss cheeses it's local area?
>>65457852yes I believe they ran into exactly this issue with those bouncing water bombs for taking out dams and bridges in WW2. sometimes they would bounce right over the targets, or even back up into the plane dropping them.
We could be use the based BEANO like what God intended America to use. Unfortunately we're faggots that can't pitch and only know how to catch.
>>65457832The military hates funAll that stuff involving shooting guns, going camping, boating, rock climbing, hiking swimming and driving vehicles. There's a deliberate doctrine to make it all suck as much as humanly possibleThe grenade is not fun or your friend
>>65457832the whole reason impact frags were invented was because throwing regular grenades uphill risked rolling it straight down at your feet, imagine the risk to user of a grenade that can also pinball off any hard surface in a random direction?
>>65457871It would be very fun hehehe
>>65457871>he cant into angles
>>65457932These things are just made for funny accidents right?https://youtube.com/shorts/zUByASzkQHI
>>65457865The drone age sucks so fucking badly.
>>65457865The craziest thing about this footage is how clearly it shows that grenades and mortars don't have fucking shit for explosive force, all the damage is those tiny shrapnel bullets shredding the insides of everything nearby - enough to be lethal, but rarely enough to kill instantlyThere is almost no such thing as a clean death from a grenade or small shell. Jesus fucking wept.
Because they should be covered in super sticky material instead
>>65458174>pick up grenade>arm it>throw i->THROW IT GODDAMIT>IT WON'T COME OFF WHA*BLAM*Stellar idea anon
>>65458030>/shorts/https://www.youtube.com/v/zUByASzkQHIReplace the 'shorts' with 'v'.
Make it bouncy on one third, sticky on another, and give it an impact fuse for the third side. Your enemy can't adapt to your tactics if you don't know what they are yourself.
>>65458033Being shot at and having grenades shot or thrown at you sucks quite a bit too, don't let anyone tell you its fun either>>65458168The amount of explosive force that people can survive just with shit going bang is really freaky, like there could be a pillar, rock, vehicle or something in the way and they could just be 'mostly fine' when someone else just a few feet away literally gets turned into jelly. Once a deliberate fragmentation effect is added to the mix its just a whole other ball game where no one wins!You will probably get hitIt's going to hurt like all get out and unless you're lucky or unlucky enough to have something go through your skull (+helmet) there's usually a lot of suffering that's going to happen. It slices people up, that's sort of the best way to describe grenade blasts in their primary danger zone. Ears, eyes, fingers and noses can all just get lopped off, poked and lacerations all over which are pretty traumatic but not immediately fatal. At that stage its all about major arteries being hit which determines just how quick someone might live or die. Tourniquet technology really ups the chances of survival so much that its really quite an underrated piece of kit you need to have and look after
>>65458033That was a beautiful fucking drop.
>>65458197>ball game where no one wins!The person who threw the bomb here wins, probably by bouncing his bouncy 'nade off a wall in a sick skillshot
>>65457942Dats a whole lotta infographic to say>the angle of incidence >equals the angle of reflection
>>65458196FO perfessor.
>>65458263Even if the written definition is more descriptive, most people will have an easier time understanding a concept if they see it visualized.
>>65457865That's a lot of fucking blood, damn.
>>65458033war has always sucked; the only fundamental change drones have made is putting more cameras on the battlefield to show us how much it sucks
>>65458168>how clearly it shows that grenades and mortars don't have fucking shit for explosive force
>>65458168Yeah even artillery shells you can survive being quite close to if they're poorly fuzed and dig into the ground
>>65457832My question is why aren't they made out of ham?
>>65457832>Play video game with super bouncy grenades>Frag myself>Repeatedly
>>65458411They are ham maker
>>65458411Considered a warcrime ever since the Canadians started baiting Germans with cans of food and then replaced the food with grenades.
>>65458445Germans just didn't understand a bit of banter
>>65458445>Considered a warcrime ever since the Canadians started baiting Germans with cans of bacon and then replaced the food with hamFtfy
>>65458196yes
>>65457832They are for riots and non-lethal they hurt.
>>65458459Why you no like ham?Thog like ham. Thog not trust ham-not-liking man.
>>65458453>It's just a prank bro"You Keeled Hanz!">...It's a really good prank?"He had one week left on his enlistment!"
>>65458513Aww don't be a sauerkraut!
>>65458513Every time Canada gets deployed in a war zone, there's some guy who takes out a notebook with the title>Things Canada is no longer allowed to do>Sits by his telephone>Page 1>Feed grenades to the enemy
>Dives behind cover>Surprise, fucker!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYy-vXRpm_Q
>>65458782Now I wanna see how it performs thrown on heavy churned up mud.
>>65458798I guess at that point it's just acting like a regular grenade. Unless the self-righting does something dumb and sends it flying at an unpredictable angle.
>>65458182STICK
There should be an R&D department that just comes up with and tries out wacky grenade ideas to see what works. >incendiary fragmentation >mico stick grenades>practical sticky grenades finally?>razor grenades >Frisbee grenades >knife grenades >uranium shrapnel grenades >flat grenades >3d printing >build a better molotov?>build a better pipe grenade?idk just give some guys money, drugs and a test range and see what they come up with
>>65458445sounds like deflection from the fat leonard thing, you yankies got bribed by ham ffs
>>65457836>>65457848Exactly Chaos is your friend-the ultimate terror weapon
