Quote HistoryQuoted: Google says the Army pays $45/piece. So yes I would stack them deep. There is a member here that runs a MG range in western PA that offers grenade throwing. IIRC, he said that he paid ~$90 each for just the fuzes in bulk. However, .government probably gets them cheaper. ETA: $93  Failed To Load Title |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes. Absolutely. I’d buy a crate. Played ball back in ‘82. I can throw a football a quarter-me. I’m dead serious. How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a hand grenade over some mountains? Yeah... if coach woulda put me in the fourth quarter we would’ve been state champions... no doubt... no doubt in my mind. You do NOT throw a grenade like a football or baseball. I'd say it is more like a shot put, it is damn funky. The Drill Sergeant will make sure you do it "by the book".

Tough call. I can unload a rifle and make it safe. Harder to do with explosives.
I would probably do it but there would be a lot of though put into it first. |

I witnessed a grenade going off at a flea market in East Germany after the fall of the wall.
Wasn't pretty...but the women assumed it was a fake one from her husband's belongings. But in answer to your question, it really depends. |

If I could go to the corner arms dealer and legally buy them, why not. Never know when you're going to run into a mole in your yard that just won't die.
Letting the Feds know that I'm buying them with some tracking form. Fuck that. |

I have no use for grenades right now, but if they legally available and affordable, I’d get a dozen, just to be prepared. Same reason I own lots of thing I don’t have a use for “right now” - to be prepared.

No, it means the go to a new town, they have to stop at the local grenade dealership and buy a T-shirt indicate that they have been to that place's grenade store as well. :-) |

Sure, as long as they were stored in a proper explosive magazine and far enough away from anything important. Apartment dwellers need not apply. People in the middle of nowhere, go for it. I've always stayed away from explosives because I valued my life. One faulty fuse and boom you're dead!!

Im pretty sure the explosive in nades is shelf stable. The first thing I'd do though is remove the fuse/spoon assy. and store those seperately from the nade bodies. |

Quoted: I am aware they are legal to buy with tax stamp as a destructive device but are extremely restricted and you have to have an approved storage for them which is expensive. That said would you buy some M67 frag grenades if they only required a 4473? I would buy some as they are safe enough to keep around and would be useful when things in the country go sideways. Sure. I would get about 6 or so. Never know when you might come across an alien invader in a pool. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, I'd buy a few. PSA should be making M203s and boxes of 40mm HEDP should be sold the same as any other type of ammo. All small arms and light weapons suitable for militia service should be available for American citizens to purchase, unrestricted. M4s, M16s, and M27s? Yes. SAWs and 240s? Yes. M203s, LAWs, and Carl Gustavs? Yes. 60mm M224s? Yes. There should be a CMP office in every county in every state, with all of those for sale with no more headache than there would be buying an 870 or a 10/22. Kalashnikov USA should be offering PKMs, RPG-7s and GP-30s for all the Slavaboos. Mail order? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No, from a practical and storage point of view it’s a stupid liability. Like keeping sweating dynamite around. I would start first with a breech loading cannon for my yacht. Then maybe an RPG like thing, and round it out with parts kit goodness building a few vickers, MP40’s, Thompson’s, automatic broom handle Mausers….. Really what I would want is a post war South American level gun boat…….. You know NEW Dynamite does not sweat, and if kept stored in a cool, dry place and flipped regularly it is no great issue to store, just do not store them with the blasting cap inserted, its safe.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think that there should be privately owned Armories where you could buy and store heavy weapons. I don’t think you should be able to own and store HE without a magazine because a mistake could mean a lot of people could die. There should be good accounting for who has it and how much they have. I think explosives and heavy weapons should be easy to buy, but I think there should be training and storage regulations. I would be cool with state sponsored training courses and surplus programs. Demolition is one of the things that make modern society possible, everyone should know how to use it. Thousands of acres of farm land around here was originally cleared of tree stumps by land owners with explosives bought from the local hardware store. It is a shame that we don’t have a society that is functional and sane. Replace heavy weapons with AR and will you give the Gun Grabbers everything they desire, Freedom is dangerous, but a list of who has what or storing it in one place is far more dangerous, and frankly, I think houses need to be made tougher, out of Rebar, Concrete, Steel Plate, Stone. Sadly when you increase the number of people/density of people you tend to get insane/non-functional countries. |

"After you pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is no longer our friend."
Seriously? no, I have little to no use for grenades, no place safe to use them, way too much potential for "collateral damage" even if used right. Now the anti frogmen grenades we had on board ship, those will float you a right ready feast in any body of water. But, you could toss a used oxygen cannister off your OBA and get the same result - that stuff REALLY doesn't like salt water! So, no, if they were available like firearms OTC, I probably wouldn't be interested, not my bag, man. |
