Frequently Asked Questions

How was the wheel lock destroyed in the video?

The wheel lock was destroyed using an M67 fragmentation grenade. It was rigged to the lock with zip ties and detonated remotely in a desert shooting range, completely shattering the lock.

What is an M67 fragmentation grenade?

The M67 is a standard US military hand grenade filled with approximately 6.5 oz of Composition B explosive. It is designed to produce lethal fragments upon detonation, making it effective for destroying targets like the wheel lock shown.

What is a run-flat insert and was it effective?

A run-flat insert, like the Armormax shown, allows a vehicle to drive after a tire loses air pressure. In this test, the insert remained functional even though the tire was shredded by the grenade's explosion, demonstrating its resilience.

Is it legal or safe to use grenades for such purposes?

No, the possession and use of military-grade explosives like the M67 grenade are heavily regulated and illegal for civilians. This demonstration is performed by an expert in a controlled, remote environment solely for destructive testing purposes.
