Can I THROW a GRENADE Further Than It’s LETHAL Radius? #grenade #demolitionranch #civtac

This video explores the survivability of a grenade throw by comparing the throw distance to the grenade's lethal and wounding radii. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, explains standard grenade blast zones (5m lethal, 15m wounding, 230m fragmentation) and tests a throw, which unfortunately dudded but achieved 30 meters. The content also provides a crucial survival technique for nearby blasts: lying prone with feet towards the explosion and face away.

Quick Summary

To survive a nearby grenade blast without cover, assume a prone position with your feet oriented towards the explosion and your face turned away. While a 30-meter throw exceeds the 5m lethal and 15m wounding radii, fragmentation can extend to 230m, making proper positioning crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the standard lethal and wounding radii for a typical grenade?

Standard military grenades have a lethal radius of approximately 5 meters, meaning a direct hit within this range is likely fatal. The wounding radius, where injuries from fragments or blast effects are probable, extends to about 15 meters.

How far can a grenade's fragmentation reach?

While the lethal and wounding radii are relatively short, the fragmentation range of a grenade can extend significantly further, potentially up to 230 meters, posing a threat even at greater distances.

What is the recommended survival technique for a nearby grenade blast?

If caught near a blast without cover, the recommended survival technique is to lie flat in a prone position, orienting your feet towards the explosion and turning your face away to minimize exposure to direct impact and shrapnel.

What was the demonstrated throw distance in the video?

In the video, the grenade was thrown a distance of 30 meters. Although the grenade dudded, this distance was measured and compared against the known blast radii.
