What a jackass. I get worked up seeing guys with flashbangs rubber banded to their kit, this guy went full Hollywood and did it with a frag. I wonder if he has the pin tied off to his kit so he can do a slick one handed employment.

And the pin taped up? That's a no-no according to the Army Safety Center. Someone should ask his Company Commander where his risk assessment is for that shit...mmmmmokaay.

All I see is a lot of potential golf courses...

I missed the tape on initial inspection. I don't understand how the 3 safety devices aren't good enough. When I find bent or taped pins, I just take them out to the range and dispose of them.

I'm not sure I'm following...I know atleast up until I left, we would take the clip off and put 100mph tape through the ring and do 1.5 wraps around, leaving a tab to pull. Is that no longer allowed? Or are you guys refering to a specific way it is taped?

It makes it take twice as long to employ the grenade, and it doesn't make it an safer. A grenade inside a pouch can't pull it's own pin. Tape also looses it's sticky in the heat and dust or gets permanently stuck together- then you have a grenade with no safety or a grenade you can't employ.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks

That makes a lot of sense, thanks

I'm here for you, little buddy.

I taped up grenade pins as well, ignoring the Army Safety Center. That shit has been against the regs for years now.

Kinda old yet still interesting:

Think these are SFAUC/SFARTEC instructors.

What's the reasoning behind the man throwing the flash bang in the same room as the stack in 1:32 and 3:02?

 

[ÉIREGOBRÁCH1922]

Still class though!

I can only assume after the failed ballistic breach, they throw the banger to make the occupants think the stack went elsewhere, so he doesn't get shot through the door when setting up the demo.

 

[Brian1/75]

Actually looking back at it through the 3:02 time, he already pulled the pin for the breach and after it failed just got rid of it.

 

[TheSiatonist]

Patch?

 

[Centermass]

Patch?

Yep. It's a patch.

 

[Lefty375]

Yep. It's a patch.

After examining the evidence, I can also agree to this statement.

 

[AWP]

I disagree. I think it is a guy wearing a hat armed with an M-4.

 

[RackMaster]

Target?
