Schooled? How about OWNED!? Isn't that the popular adolescent term being used these days?

I would like to see some numbers on what percentage of live grenades never explode. I'd bet it's extremely low. In fact, I'll stick by my statement above...I'm not convinced despite what the FBI says. Is it ok not for me to NOT swallow their Kool-Aid and be like you guys?

Mike...what absolute, definitive statement did I make?

I like Ag's post above. If it was an assassination attempt it was woefully executed...and at some point woefully executed attempts of anything are no longer the things they were meant to be.

Bottom line for me in this thread though is that the headline used by the media was premature and overly dramatic in it's verbage, which was my point all along.

I think it's "o3ned".

It'd be interesting to see if anything comes out of it? Would people get fired over this kind of thing? If the grenade had gone off it would have been a circus. But not, you know, like a fun circus. More like a bad circus with a lot of guns and shooting and rushing about. [/b][/quote]
I just have to say that is an incredible position to take. Unless you personally see it with your own eyes you won't believe it?

You want some 'numbers'?? What numbers would make you believe?

50% of grenades detonate when thrown?
99% of grenades detonate? I mean, shinguard, even if that was the case, there always has to be that one that doesn't go off.

Another thing, how do grenades go off? Is it strictly a timer or is a pressure thing caused by impact? Or the effect of removing pressure on the handle after removing the pin and hurling it?
