Duration: 10:31

This video demonstrates a unique application of RC cars by using them to remotely deliver and detonate an M67 fragmentation grenade. The experiment involves rigging two RC monster trucks, one carrying the grenade and the other designed to pull the pin via a string mechanism. A cinder block bunker with pineapple targets is constructed to visualize the blast effects, showcasing the destructive power of the grenade and the potential for remote demolition.

Quick Summary

An M67 fragmentation grenade was remotely delivered and detonated using a dual RC car system. One car carried the grenade, while a second pulled the pin via a string. The detonation destroyed a cinder block bunker, scattering debris hundreds of feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How was the grenade detonated using RC cars?

The experiment used a two-RC car system. One car carried the M67 fragmentation grenade, while a second RC car, attached by a string to the grenade's pin, reversed to pull the pin, initiating the fuse.

What was the target for the RC car-delivered grenade?

A small bunker was constructed from cinder blocks, with pineapples placed inside to act as proxy targets and visualize the blast effects of the M67 fragmentation grenade.

What safety precautions were taken during the RC grenade experiment?

The team retreated behind concrete walls to ensure safety from the blast and potential debris. This highlights the importance of maintaining a safe distance during explosive demonstrations.

What were the results of the M67 grenade detonation?

The M67 fragmentation grenade completely destroyed the cinder block bunker. Debris was scattered hundreds of feet away, demonstrating the significant destructive power of the explosive.
