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.

Quick Summary

A 'pineapple' style fragmentation grenade can break a car window due to its significant weight and impact force. In an experiment, a Range Rover Sport's window was shattered by the grenade, which then detonated inside, causing extensive structural damage to the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a real grenade break a car window?

Yes, a 'pineapple' style fragmentation grenade is heavy enough to break a car window upon impact. In an experiment, a Range Rover Sport's window was shattered by the grenade's force, allowing it to detonate inside the vehicle.
