This video explores the physics and safety of grenade blast radii through a practical experiment. It details kill, wounding, and fragmentation distances, demonstrating that even a 30-meter throw can still be within the fragmentation zone. The host emphasizes crucial safety protocols, including proper prone positioning to minimize shrapnel exposure.

Quick Summary

A grenade's kill radius is 5 meters, wounding radius is 15 meters, and fragmentation can travel up to 230 meters. Throwing one 30 meters is beyond kill/wound zones but still within fragmentation range. Proper safety involves lying flat, facing away, feet towards the blast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different safety distances for a grenade?

A grenade has a kill radius of approximately 5 meters, a wounding radius of about 15 meters, and fragmentation can travel significantly further, up to 230 meters.

Is throwing a grenade 30 meters safe?

While 30 meters is beyond the kill and wounding radii, it is still within the fragmentation zone, meaning shrapnel can reach this distance, posing a significant risk.

What is the correct safety position when a grenade detonates?

The proper safety position is to lie flat on the ground, facing away from the blast, with your feet pointed towards the explosion's origin to minimize exposure to shrapnel.

What type of grenade was used in the Civilian Tactical experiment?

The experiment featured an MK2 'pineapple' style grenade, a well-known type of fragmentation ordnance often associated with historical military use.
