The US Army has approved the M111 offensive hand grenade, the first new lethal hand grenade since 1968. This grenade represents a significant update from the long-serving M67 fragmentation grenade. The discussion highlights the two primary ways explosives injure or kill: overpressure (blast wave) and fragmentation. The M111's introduction signifies a modernization of infantry ordnance.

This video provides an expert-level overview of the new M111 offensive hand grenade, detailing its design, function, and tactical advantages over traditional fragmentation grenades. The presenter, with apparent military experience, explains how the M111 prioritizes overpressure (blast wave) over fragmentation, making it safer for friendly forces in close-quarters combat and urban environments. It highlights the M111's effectiveness in enclosed spaces and its role in modern military operations.

This video provides an overview of hand grenades, focusing on their use in video games like Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto. It differentiates between fragmentation and high-explosive (HE) grenades, detailing their respective damage radii and effects. The instructor emphasizes understanding the 15-meter fragmentation radius and the 35-meter throwing distance, while also noting the 2% dud rate of grenades.

This video focuses on the Soviet/Russian F-1 Fragmentation Hand Grenade, a classic piece of military ordnance. While the title and description are brief, the #ordnance and #military tags indicate a clear focus on historical and tactical weaponry. The content is likely to explore the design, function, and historical significance of this hand grenade.

This video details an experimental test where an M67 fragmentation grenade, modified with a cannon fuse, is detonated inside a Smart Car. The footage, captured with high-speed cameras, showcases the grenade's destructive power, illustrating the fragmentation and blast effects on the vehicle's structure. The creator, Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates expertise in handling explosives and conducting controlled destructive tests.

This video demonstrates the destructive potential of a pineapple-style fragmentation grenade against a Range Rover Sport. Expert Edwin Sarkissian, known for his high-energy destructive testing content, showcases the process from preparation to detonation. The experiment highlights the significant damage explosives can inflict on vehicles, resulting in the roof being blown open. The content emphasizes the need for safety protocols and controlled environments for such demonstrations.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian, an established firearms and explosives content creator, experimentally tests if a 'pineapple' style fragmentation grenade can break a car window upon impact before its 5-second fuse detonates. The experiment, conducted in a desert with a Range Rover Sport, demonstrates that while the initial impact may not suffice, a second, direct impact successfully shatters the glass, allowing the grenade to enter the vehicle. The subsequent detonation causes extensive damage, confirming the grenade's weight and force are sufficient to break automotive glass.

This guide details the process of throwing a fragmentation-style grenade, emphasizing the importance of immediate cover and cautious post-throw inspection. It highlights the need for proper tactical gear and awareness of range safety protocols. The content is presented by a tactical content creator familiar with range operations.

This video demonstrates an experiment testing the impact of a bullet on an M67 fragmentation grenade. Fired from a suppressed AR-15, the grenade did not explode but released smoke. The expert explanation highlights that modern grenades require specific fuse-triggered detonation and stable explosives like Comp B or MDX are resistant to simple bullet impact. The demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding explosive mechanisms and safe handling of ordnance.

This guide details the disassembly of an inert MK2 style 'pineapple' grenade, as demonstrated by 1st Shot Tactical. It emphasizes identifying safety markings like a drilled hole and blue fuse paint, followed by removing the pin, spoon, and unscrewing the fuse housing to reveal the hollow interior. The explanation covers the fragmentation design and fuse delay mechanics of such ordnance.

This video demonstrates the critical safety features of a World War II Mk 2 fragmentation grenade. It highlights the importance of the safety pin and the safety lever (spoon), emphasizing that the grenade is safe as long as the lever is held down. The demonstration includes the accidental dropping of the grenade after the pin was removed, underscoring the danger of mishandling.

This video demonstrates an experiment involving an M67 Fragmentation Grenade detonated within a stack of flour bags. The high authority level of the speaker, Edwin Sarkissian, is evident through his familiarity with explosive handling and safety protocols. The experiment highlights the flammability of dispersed flour, resulting in a significant fireball and charred remnants.
