Yeah, it came MUCH later.. I don't even remember how young I was the first time I muttered "oh****", when some clown did a "Watch This!" stunt of stupidity.Ya forgot the "hold my beer" part! 😂🍺
Grandpa's legacy.
Man finds hand grenade and then pulls pin to see what happens. .. validating Charles Darwin’s theories.
Just got a hold your tongue right throw it in and it will jump on the pullys all by itselfThat pizza box reminds me of what I noticed on a cardboard packaging sleeve for a fan belt. Step One on the installation instructions was: "Turn Off Engine"
In the Marines I was taught throw a grenade into the bunker and then shoot the survivors.…Even inside of a room in a house, only one out 3 KIA. Hollywood is not to be taken seriously - it's make-believe!!
Ahh, so that’s what happened. Not the brightest of families… including grandpa.I saw this I believe Monday and just kind of skimmed the article and didn't give it anymore thought until I saw this thread this morning. That article said the 14 yr old is the one who found the grenade and pulled the pin. Then dad grabbed the grenade away from him and it went off.
Those "dummy" grenades are dangerous. Just ask any surviving Branch Davidian.Real grenades usually have a yellow stripe or markings to denote high explosive. Inert ordnance has lt. blue.
Used to buy dummy practice grenades at gun shows or Army/Navy stores remove the blue markings and replace them with yellow! 😎
Maybe he did! Not necessarily a lot of places you can toss one out of harms way.Granddad apparently had some secrets...
And Dad apparently never watched Combat when he was a kid, or any old war movies... even my daughters knew in kindergarten, you pull the pin and then throw the damn thing.
And now his boys will live with the PTS for the rest of their lives. That, and knowing that their old man was a dumbass.
The article didn't say who did it. For all we know one of the son's did it and Dad fell on it to save his boys. If you ever saw the Thin Red Line you'd remember Woody Harrelson and the grenade scene.Granddad apparently had some secrets...

The story seems infinitive as to whom pulled the pin. At first I assumed the dad and felt for the kids. Then I wondered if one of the kids did it and the dad protected them. I have nothing.
You are right. The story is incomplete. But I feel for the kids no matter how it went down.One thread on one of the gun sites said one of the kids did it and Dad grabbed it too late, don't know if it is true. Profoundly sad however it happened.
As do I. If true, I cannot imagine having done something that killed Dad.You are right. The story is incomplete. But I feel for the kids no matter how it went down.
Now that is the idiot factor.This looks fairly substantial Grenade fishing basics: Throw it don't drop it
except they now have to have a 26 plus page booklet actually listing all of the things to not do with it.When you see stuff like this, you suddenly realize why everything these days has a warning label on it. 🙄
Even a Claymore mine has to have "Front Toward Enemy" printed on it.
