Young Freud posted:So, at from contact to about 2/3 of a meter, it will blow off something completely, yet at 1 meter, you could be pretty banged up and survive. At 2 meters, you probably have burst eardrums and have permanent loss of hearing and at 3 meters, the only thing wrong with you is that your ears are probably ringing for a bit. But that drop off in overpressure in that first meter is why you get stuff like this... These things are mass produced, not handmade. There is no guarantee that the grenade will fragment properly upon exploding -I've seen multiple M67s that just blew out the top and bottom, leaving most of the shell intact- and lethality doesn't come from the fragments -I've seen someone take a grenade fragment to the knee and walk away-. Remember the assassination attempt on Hitler, where the plan was to put the explosive inside the closed bunker he was going to be doing his brief in, but then it was too hot, so instead they were in a different building, and even though he was right there, he wasn't killed? Lethality comes from hucking them into bunkers or foxholes or pillboxes or tanks or rooms, where the pressure wave doubles back on itself, otherwise it's just going to wound a lot of people.
