Damn......that pit is well-planned. I
 ed when the instructor pulled him in.
That recurit must be very nervous. Two potentially life threatning mistakes indicate that. |

Such antics are actually quite common on grenade ranges with recruits. I've never seen a layout like that, though. Interesting. Anyone recognize the country?

Holy shit!
My wife did that once in a paintball game. We're attacking a castle, and we're on the outside wall. My wife ran out of air, and said she could run in and suicide before she walked off the field if there was something she could do. My buddy goes, "I dunno, I found this grenade on the ground." She goes, "Cool!" and takes the grenade (which is a piece of surgical tubing pumped up with paint so it sprays everywhere when you subject it to enough impact). The other team is firing at us from a window farther down the wall. She crouches down and shimmies over to the window. Wiggles back a few feet, then cocks her arm back, stands up and lets fly... The grenade goes through the window, hits a blue plastic chemical drum inside the castle *thoomb!*, bounces back out of the window, lands right at her feet and sprays her from head to toe. 
It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and unbelievably improbable. |

Yeah, I always thought the idea was once the grenade was in the sump/pit you just got down and let it explode. |

I'm pretty sure the grenade ranges I've been on had a wall. Grenada stays on your side of the wall? Climb over it, duck. Grenade stays on the far side? Duck.

Never understood the live grenade practice. A dummy of similar weight and mechanism is faster, safer, and cheaper to train with.
Throwing a live grenade on a range isn't even that fun. You don't get to watch it or anything. A grenade assault course with dummies is fun though. |

I watched an incident at a grenade range. Sloped concrete floor pit with small central sump pipe. Nervous student... instructor behind him - pulled pin, rocked back...... and failed to throw. Commanded to throw 4 times - but no throw. Instructor stepped up behind him to gently capture the grenade in his hand and he just flaked and dropped it at their feet.
Instructor calmly wrapped one arm around the guy from behind and fell backward over the short concrete barrier wall. BOOM! Takes calm and balls to be a grenade range instructor. Instructor in the link knew his stuff. |

We had a recruit "rim shot" one and it barely make it over the wall. He got his ass throughly chewed lol.
We were told that if it lands in the pit go to attention and the instructor would take care of the rest. If you resisted for even a split second your ass was gonna be standing in that pit alone
This was on Pendelton's grenade range a back in 2003 when I was in MCT. |

It had glass that had to have been 8-10" thick, (Memory little rusting as it was back in 83). Anyway the glass had a few cracks in it where it was hit. |

Used to be (might still be) that you could miss nearly every training day in Army Basic Training for anything from KP to sick call, but there were a few "must haves" to graduate: PT Test, End of cycle common task test, Rifle range qual, Throw 2 live grenades (there may have been one more I forgot). In spite of all the dumbing down, and budget cuts, the importance of having real HD in your hands never went away. Now, did we identify the morans who couldn't handle it and dropped it, and see them out the door? Well, that's a bitch session for another time. |
