pikachu, i choose u!
It's just a myth. The experience of holding a live SFG-87 grenade for the first time can be nerve wrecking for some recruits and I doubt anyone in the right frame of mind would be in the mood to fool around on the actual day of the live throwing.i heard some idiot in NS decided to play a fool with his grenade during practise...
from what i gathered, when he took off the pin and throw grenade, he said this
and gets sent off to DB i think. dunno if real or not
reminds me of BMT...
i smacked my head when i reached the grenade bay... the guy in my detail after me was one of the company best bobo shooters. i prayed hard that he wouldn't throw the grenade behind him xD
needless to say.. he threw it straight at the ground, it became a blind and we were the only detail stuck there for 45 minutes waiting for the bomb squad to blow it up.
and my PC and i had a good heart to heart talk about the beautiful skies...
I don't get it. How does throwing it straight at the ground (or any method of throwing) cause it to be a blind?
weird logic...according to my PC back then... it's supposed to be in the air for a few seconds to allow the det cord inside to burn to the core? if it hits the ground before that... somehow that's disrupted i think...
but that's the way it was put across to us... and yes... it's happened. within one second... the grenade hit the ground and LOL remained still.
Unexploded ordnance is fairly common during live firing exercises, I wouldn't be surprise if the SFG-87 fragmentation grenade that recruits throw are taken from soon to be expired batches since live munitions does have a limited shelf life.I don't get it. How does throwing it straight at the ground (or any method of throwing) cause it to be a blind?
Yakult/Vitagen bottle work just as well.Last time no chance throw grenade, i throw stones........... :bsmilie:
during my time, some hockkian peng don't know how to pronounce the word grenade properly, so instead of shout "grenade", it becomes "Nei Nei!"
No more hokkien peng nowadays, just plenty of 3G "A" level or diploma graduates that doesn't speak of word of dialect ("CB? What CB?"). :bsmilie:during my time, some hockkian peng don't know how to pronounce the word grenade properly, so instead of shout "grenade", it becomes "Nei Nei!"
