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 firing technique for the 1400's Handgonne, a .75 caliber muzzleloader. It covers the loading procedure, including powder charge, projectile, wadding, and ramming, as well as the critical step of preparing and inserting the cannon fuse for ignition. The process emphasizes careful preparation and awareness of the weapon's primitive nature.
