I can “throw” and RPG much further. Assuming they would also be legal.

I should have a tank, bazooka, helicopter, and of course hand grenades and thousands of minions. But I don't.

I probably would buy one just to have one, but I have no practical purpose for one.

The riots of 2020 taught me with crystal clear clarity that I want every and all means to defend my family against a hostile MOB.

When stressed, law enforcement aint coming. Its just me, my family and our arsenal.

Is OP selling them individually, by the box or skid?

They are great for bulk fishing.

Welcome gun enthusiast, would you buy them?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It’s probably in the potential grenade owners best interests that grenades aren’t readily available.

I could see a whole lot of clumsy Bubba’s accidentally killing themselves and innocent bystanders. I wouldn’t buy one as I wouldn’t trust myself to not be that clumsy Bubba.

There is no reason for me to own them. Just like military weapons of war. Guns are icky

I really wouldn't want them sitting around ready to go.
I would be just fine having fuses, main charge material and bodies around but it would take some shit kicking off to put them together for anything more than a little fun. Even for fun I would probably use a tennis ball body or something rather than a frag grenade.

Of course, but I'd rather have M61 grenades (since they're more effective than the M67) or those little V40 mini grenades like someone mentioned (for concealed carry).

I'd also buy Claymores, M118 demo charges, 40mm HE & HEDP, and 84mm rounds for a Carl Gustaf M4 if those were all readily available.

Yea, fishing, clearing stumps, a charging grizzly if you have a balls to let it cook off a few seconds (maybe).

I'm pretty sure if you are the point where you need them, you are in way over your head.

ETA: Actually I'd rather have an M-2.

"They have no rationale for being owned by individuals on the street," Biden said. "They should be outlawed. … From the very beginning you weren't allowed to have certain weapons. You weren't allowed to own a ~~cannon~~ hand grenade during the Revolutionary War as an individual."

No.
1. They are really not that great (i noticed most of the YES crowd, don't have dog tag. They are not like on TV or movies.)
2. I don't intend to be in grenade throwing range

Now an M79 40mm grenade launcher would get me excited.

Does that mean when you see other grenade owners you do some stupid wave to let them know you're in the club?

Throwing them into a car or a nice brick-walled building has some pretty surprising effects.

If they were as inexpensive and legal as tannerite - I am sure some people would find a way to use them for brush and tree clearing.

I'd have at least a case. I always enjoyed throwing grenades.

How much would these imaginary hand grenades be? I could see me and some friends splitting a gross. Like bottle rockets but with bigger smiles

Posted: 2/16/2022 2:52:44 PM EST

It would all depend on how much they cost. Probably spend the money on more ammo. All I know is that I couldn't throw one for shit in basic.

I didn't like carrying flashbangs. They were fun, but on a real entry I had an interesting experience with one. The idea of throwing a frag in my neighborhood. Nope.

No. I have no use for them and wouldn't want to store them.

No. Frags scare me.
But an RPG or M97 Blooper sure.

Usually the Glowie's just give 'em away, A LOT:

By August 2011, with nearly ten years of terrorism prosecutions since 9/11, we had a database of 508 defendants whom the U.S. government considered terrorists. The way the data broke down was illuminating. Of the 508 defendants, 243 had been targeted through an FBI informant, 158 had been caught in an FBI terrorism sting, and 49 had encountered an agent provocateur. Most of the people who didn’t face off against an informant weren’t directly involved with terrorism at all, but were instead Category II offenders, small-time criminals with distant links to terrorists overseas. Seventy-two of these Category II offenders had been charged with making false statements, while 121 had been prosecuted for immigration violations. Of the 508 cases, I could count on one hand the number of actual terrorists, such as failed New York City subway bomber Najibullah Zazi, who posed a direct and immediate threat to the United States.

The Terror Factory

According to official court records that computes to 89% of the terrorism prosecutions during that time period were CREATED by the FBI

89% doesn't even count the terrorism the FBI created and never took credit for (like OKC, WTC1, and 9/11 itself)

Think about all the vids we would get to see where some drunken country boys last words would be "hey guys watch this."

State conservation departments would have to have state legislatures add a law that says "no fishing with hand grenades"
