NSFs escape serious injury during grenade throwing exercise gone wrong
How did he manage to get the safety lever out of his hand? When pulling the pin, the lever should be between the thumb and the first finger, and the instruction is to "tug gently, twist, then tug gently again until the pin is out", not "jerk the pin out". And secondly, aren't they briefed that the grenade and both hands should always be over the throwing bay, and if in doubt, drop, not throw, the grenade and get down behind the bay? Either way, for the officer, it is a stupid move, but for a panicking recruit like that, not much he can do.

Without knowing further details, it could have been many things. Maybe in his panic, he brought the grenade back into the bay. Maybe he sneezed and pulled the pin wrongly. Maybe... well, you get the point.
What's important for now is that both only suffered minor injuries.

My story with explosives is that I once dropped a live M203 round while taking it out. Dropped onto the concrete floor then me and the sgt on duty looked at each other wondering what to do In the end safety office came over, inspected for dents and told me to fire it off. |

Still, it is better than being blown to pieces and having that mixed with your officer's remains. Quote:
A HEDP round is different; it is only armed when 2 things occur : it is fired from the cartridge, and the imploder pin inside triggers the second detonation sequence; that is why it has a blind range of 10m-20m (it won't explode if it is fired within that range, but it is said to be as painful as a bottle being fired from a leafblower). I had a even funnier experience with the M203 rounds - we repeatedly dragged entire belts of 30 from the ammo stash to the range to fire the automatic grenade launchers, because it is so heavy we simply chuck the entire belt at the weapon when we reached it. Later everyone involved in "throwing the belts" signed extras for careless handling of ammunition and we were told that each belt had 5 times more firepower than a single LAW rocket. With that much explosive, that would make a pretty big hole at the range; and the process is a pretty macabre way to dig our own mass grave.

Need to drill into them that the pin doesn't matter....as long as you hold the lever down you can hold the grenade forever. I remember for mine I had to relax my grip on the lever lest my hand became numb... Quote:
