This video, featuring influencer Nikko Ortiz, touches on tactical survival techniques, specifically how to mitigate the effects of a grenade blast. While presented with humor, the core advice involves moving away from the blast and adopting a prone position with feet towards the explosion to protect vital organs from shrapnel and overpressure. Ortiz, recognized as an influencer within the veteran and tactical community, uses visual aids to illustrate these concepts.

This expert guide details a comprehensive test of Tannerite's lethal distance, conducted by experienced individuals using professional equipment. The experiment involved detonating 5 lbs of Tannerite at varying distances from a ballistic dummy using a Cobalt Kinetics rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO with 77-grain Sierra MatchKing rounds. The results demonstrate that Tannerite, while an explosive target, poses significant risks at close range, with point-blank detonations being non-survivable. The guide emphasizes safety protocols and the importance of understanding blast effects.

This video explores the survivability of a grenade throw by comparing the throw distance to the grenade's lethal and wounding radii. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, explains standard grenade blast zones (5m lethal, 15m wounding, 230m fragmentation) and tests a throw, which unfortunately dudded but achieved 30 meters. The content also provides a crucial survival technique for nearby blasts: lying prone with feet towards the explosion and face away.

This video demonstrates a highly dangerous and unauthorized method of accessing vending machine contents using an M67 fragmentation grenade. The presenter, identified as Edwin Sarkissian, shows the process of arming and deploying the grenade into a Pepsi vending machine, resulting in its complete destruction. The footage includes multiple slow-motion replays of the detonation and a post-blast inspection of the debris. The presenter exhibits knowledge of grenade safety by pulling the pin and maintaining spoon pressure, and issues a 'fire in the hole' warning before taking cover.

This video demonstrates an extreme experiment where an M67 fragmentation grenade is used to destroy a Bank of America ATM. The process involves preparing the grenade, placing it inside the ATM, and detonating it to observe the resulting explosion and fragmentation. The instructor, Edwin Sarkissian, exhibits high expertise in handling ordnance and emphasizes safety protocols for blast radius awareness.

This video demonstrates an experimental technique using RC cars to deliver a high-explosive fragmentation grenade into an improvised cinder block bunker. The experiment, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, aims to test the destructive potential of the grenade against a fortified structure. The results show a complete destruction of the bunker, highlighting the effectiveness of the explosive charge and the viability of RC vehicles for such delivery methods.

Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts an experimental test on the survivability of an Indian military ballistic helmet against an M67 fragmentation grenade. The experiment reveals that the helmet is completely destroyed, highlighting the extreme destructive power of the grenade and the limitations of ballistic headwear against such threats. The video emphasizes safety protocols, including remote detonation and the use of blast shielding.
