So far we have 9 votes for flashbangs over the fact Russian grenades are just really shitty.

I am betting these are not fragmentation grenades.
I have seen what those do in confined spaces. That looks more like what concussion grenades, or flashbangs do. |

They’re going to have a couple decades of that shit once people realize their loved ones are dead because some corrupt scumbags made a deal to launder money

Quoted: Maybe so, but these specs say most people in that room should have been greviously injured at the very least. Contains a 110-gram (3.9 oz) charge of TNT with an internal fragmentation liner that produces around 350 fragments with a fatality radius of around 3 metres (9.8 ft.) and a wounding radius of 25 metres (82 ft.)

My take away is that guy is very tall or doors in Ukraine are shorter than in the US.
Anyway, we should send a few billion to those people to fight the climate change given off by the detonations of those grenades. Quoted: A third of the population has bailed as war refugees (mostly women). And the death of a large percentage of prime-age men pretty much means the place in a death spiral for replacement rate. On top of that, the place is beaten to hell... View Quote I can't remember where I read it, but it will take UKR's population something like 50-100yrs to recover. Those times may not be accurate, but it was a staggering number of years. ETA: My buddy says those are flashbangs. |

View Quote IIRC, I believe the RDG5s have that stamped outer shell and the frag is actually a perforated wire coil. As I said before, dozens of videos of these going off right next to people without them being incapacitated. |

So who is this guy? It's this one of Z Man's picks after "cleaning up" the government?
Disclose has this quote: "The man, named as council representative Serhiy Batrin, 54, is seen entering the meeting late and standing by the door during a heated discussion at the session in Keretsk, in the Zakarpattia region" |

Quoted: So far we have 9 votes for flashbangs over the fact Russian grenades are just really shitty. View Quote Yeah, “grenades” as a class can be really variable. I think it’s mentioned in “Shots Fired in Anger”, that GIs in Guadalcanal used to just stomp Japanese grenades into the mud and they were fine. |

I don't know shit about grenades, but we just saw the IDF video where an IDF soldiers shrugs off a grenade going off right if front of him. Then he rounds the corner and kills the Hammas guy.
It stands to reason that grenades aren't as effective as the movies make them? Start the video at 7:40ish. Combat Footage of IDF Soldiers Fighting Hamas in Gaza |

Those aren't frag grenades.
Scroll through the video and look at the walls, tables, ext after they start booming. Or if they are, they are literal trash. But that concussion would have sucked BALLLLLLLLS |

Start the video at 7:40ish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-w2cJSYbqI View Quote There's two traditional types of grenades: Concussion and fragmentation. You know the historic German stick grenade? Those were concussion grenades. They were meant to be thrown by most everyone in a squad as they rushed a position. The concussion that would result would stun and disorientate the enemy as they stormed the position. No fragmentation meant that they were relatively safe to be fairly close to. Frag grenades have a very wide lethal zone, and are also known as defensive grenades, since you tossed one, you'd probably be in some sort of cover. If you just tossed one on a flat field and stood there, the chance of getting hit with a fragment is very high. |

Quoted: Wow, three grenades in a small room and nobody died? I mean, tossing a grenade is one of the most anticlimactic things I've done after growing up watching '80s action movies (with huge fireball and vehicles being launched into the sky), but still, you'd have expected some deaths in that confined space. He'd have saved more lives if he'd taken out zelenski instead. View Quote Grenades are definitely underpowered compared to what most people expect after watching tv and movies. But three grenades in a smallish room with lots of people right in front of them, I'd expect a bit more. |

Quoted: Definitely possible (F1 has 2.1oz), but to me the shape looked like the stamped RGD5(3.9oz). Neither are great compared to the M67 (6.5oz of a better explosive, plus a hull that frags much better).

No Medals Of Honor in that room!
Weird that he dropped the second two just at his feet, I would've rolled the first one on to the main table, then the other ones into people's laps. |
