Yep What if you let the handle or what ever it is called go? If the spoon flies before you put the pin back in, you're fucked. The spoon holds the spring-loaded firing pin in place. Once the spoon flies, the FP hits the primer, which ignites a slow burning fuse compound that then ignites a detonator compound causing the primary charge to go BOOM and you die. |

Best prank ever:
Friend of mine walks up to his squad leader in Afghanistan holding a grenade in one hand and a pin from a previously used smoke grenade in the other. He says, "Segeant, how do you put this back in?" Sergeant gives him the most serious look and says, "Very carefully you need to walk to the hescos and throw it over." Friend says ok, turns around, drops grenade and screams "OH SHIT!" He was not amused. |

True story.
I had a ring catch on a hand railing and the loudest sound in the world is that thing landing on concrete. I had had the forethought to position the spoons against my mag pouches. It never moved. It was pretty tense as the guy re-inserted the pin. I was an M203 gunner at the time, and had about 10 HEDP in my vest along with the 4 frags. I am pretty sure that not many of them would have sympathetically detonated. Pretty sure. Wouldn't have mattered to me anyway, except for getting my cherry ass kicked in St. Peter's presence. |

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O LORD, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

If you let the spoon go and there’s no safe place to throw it, your best bet is to pull it in tight to your body and hold it there for a while.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Yep What if you let the handle or what ever it is called go? Its called a SPOON!!! NO if the spoon goes, you go BOOOMMM!!! After 4-5 seconds on an M67 fragmentation grenade. How it works: The spoon holds a hammer back. The pin secures the spoon and hammer into the fuse. A secondary spring clip also secures the spoon to the fuse. With spoon held to the body of the grenade and the safety clip removed, the pin can be pulled. Nothing happens until the grenade leaves your hand. The spoon pivots off, releasing the hammer which strikes a primer and ignites the fuse. After 4-5 seconds, the fuse ignites a small non-electric blasting cap causing the composition B to go high order. In the M67, the body is made of a steel casting with many interior projections, forming a uniform shrapnel cloud. Practice grenades are made of cast iron without fragmentation projections and are much heavier than real M67 grenades. Practice grenades are made for use with practice fuses which only contain a small quantity (15 grains) of black powder. This is why there is a hole in the bottom of practice grenades, this allows the report to be vented. |

You dont have to let the spoon fly, to arm the grenade. There is the thing called milking the spoon.

There's a common belief that "milking" the grenade by releasing the spoon slightly to half way will ignite the fuse train even if pressure is reapplied.

Theoretically only if you don't let go of the spoon? That's what I assumed anyway.
In reality, I don't think I'd want to try it. Unless its a "this is for Matilda" type situation, if I ever end up pulling a pin from a grenade, it is going to be flung far away from me. Given my line of work and age, I doubt I'll ever have to worry about this situation. |

Like others have said, you can pull the pin out as long as you are holding the grenade and not releasing the spoon, you could hold onto it like that for 50 years if you wanted to. Once the pin is out and the spoon is released you can hold it for the rest of your life....give or take 5 seconds. Side note: the "fuck you" to weight ratio of grenades is pretty damn awesome. |

I duct taped the spoon we laughed he was pissed .People act funny around things they think are going to explode. I grew up in a fairly liberal area, so I was the only "gun guy" in my group of friends. Anyway, in HS, my great uncle gave me a dummy rifle grenade for an M1. To a lay-person this thing looked like a large blue "bomb". A friend was over my house and I was showing it to him and he was acting really nervous...backing away, looking towards the door, etc. I figured it was a golden opportunity so I said: "What, are you afraid? Here hold it, oh shit!" and then I dropped it on the floor. He literally DOVE out of the room and hid behind the wall.  I told him that if it was a real grenade, two layers of sheet rock and a couple studs weren't going to save his ass. |

Was the one showing the Chinese recruit fumbling a practice grenade. Remember watching some show with Dad way back when I was a kid. Had video of a SWAT member trying to put a pin back in a flashbang and dropped it into the cargo pocket on his leg. He lived with no real injuries. Dad, as a Vietnam vet, said it was his opinion that you should never try to put a pin back in any type of grenade once it is pulled. The best thing to do is to throw it. Went on to say that, personally, he didn't care to walk around with a grenade hanging off of him that had the pin reinserted. |
