Yeah, sorry about that. Those are from my tragic boating accident simulation.

Another case of shut up, and keep your mouth shut... these would be great training aids

 

[RVTECH]

So, my only question is are they made to be watertight and light enough to float?

somewhere in the world, a supply NCO and arms room is getting inspected and about to be royally reamed for misplacing accountable items.


COMPANY WIDE INSPECTION SOON!

Wanna say these have control numbers on them so they can be tracked back to a company.

Bank error in your favor.












Do not pass go; go directly to jail.

Nothing illegal or top secret on these
They seem to be disposable...

Edit. Photoflash powder is its main charge it seems.

My dad blew his thumb halfway off with one of these.

Tell him to head to the beach, he can finally finish it off!

Of course the media calls it a "grenade".

It IS a simulator grenade. Did some looking up on flash powder compounds. Lots of them are more potent than Tannerite it seems, especially if confined in a device.. edit. It's more similar to flash-bang grenades only for training. Nothing about what if they get wet with salt water though...

Well it does say "hand grenade" right on it.

But is it a holy hand grenade?

 

[Nosferatu]

But is it a holy hand grenade?

Not until it blows up.

Not until it blows up.

I don't know that the hand grenade is holy after it blows up, likely just the user.

It's holey. Just like the user is now a hole in the ground.

I'm pretty sure the grenade ends up with quite a few holes in it too.

I'm not ex-military, so I could just be speaking out my smellhole.
