House rule question: Grenades and delay

[jester]

That is something else to consider. I recall a freind who was EOD said alot of their calls for "dud" grenades turned out to be grenades that were thrown without either the pin being pulled, or the safety being removed. Often, tney would just walk up without to much caution, look down, pick it up and replace the pin and hand it back as good as new.

But, I recall most of our grenade training and when we were issued them in the sand many people were afraid to have them, we were allowed no more than two, however, if you wanted one to spare, all you had to do was ask and someone who was afraid of having one handed one over. And then of course our 1st Sgt and Company commander did not want to even issue them, then when they did they wanted us to keep them in the cardboard cartons, it seems they were afraid of being fragged.
