I've been sent this video which is a lecture about new forms of investigation (Investigation 2.0), which I was sent because it features me, but it also has some interesting discussion about other people who have been working on other military related projects which some of you might be interested in

And why the gently caress does the PSO behind her glance up over the berm as it goes off? My head would be buried in the loving ground.

He's like "oh cool I've never been this close to a grenade going off and probably never will again. I'll just sneak a peek."

Like, how did this happen? Whenever I've done a grenade on a range its been mad safe. Not to nerd out but no PPE, sandbag berm. Did the grenade just drop over her shoulder when she went to throw it?

In the video you can see it bounce off the sandbag wall, just below the top. I've never thrown a grenade, is it really that loving difficult?

No it's not. They aren't heavy and you just throw it like a baseball. People panic and over think it.

They're quite a bit heavier than a baseball I'd say. In theory it should be easy to not gently caress up but I still hate doing it even after getting to throw live grenades 3 times now. It's terrifying because of exactly that video.

I always end up death gripping it before the throw. It's hard to stop thinking that you're holding a decent sized boom in your hand and Bad Things happen if it slips out.

That's funny because when I went to throw a grenade I said gently caress the counter-intuitive way I was taught to throw them and chucked that poo poo like a baseball. It got me tackled even though I threw it like 40 yards.

They told me to throw it like a baseball in basic. And I did. And it went far as gently caress because I totally could've gotten drafted out of highschool if my shoulder didn't suck AND IT'S TRUE I WONT HEAR OTHERWISE!

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

I was that guy. I spent hours chucking stones.

My grenade was landed perfectly at the base of the long target. Everyone congratulated themselves on teaching me how to throw. :ssh:The wrong target.

When I saw the video it was some variety of Asian narrating, not sure if it was JDF or South Korean.

Asia.

Like if you've ever worked with the ROK military or JSDF it should make perfect sense to you how this could happen.

I did the same thing. I was hoping at least for a sub shooting a missile at a helo or something.

This was an incredible moment but a horrid display of sportsmanship. It was intentional, however, which differs it from the others.

Fair enough, it was a lovely/lazy attempt on my end doing a quick description. That said its interesting in that I never could imagine a contemporary variant of this. Also I never heard of people carry blackjacks into combat.
