If that guy in the white shirt wasn't there, he'd be dead or badly injured. I sure as heck wouldn't have been laughing, I remember the first time I tossed a live grenade in basic training, that little hunk of bomb is no toy for sure.

Where the heck did they get a freakin' live grenade!!! Oh and why the crap did the guy in the orange shirt just stand there when he pulled the pin??? He was about 1 second from winning the Darwin award!!
Can someone explain to me what that first small pop was? I didn't know grenades did that. Perhaps it was a defective grenade? Or, does it actually have a fuse that is lit by a snap primer or what?

Yes they do have a pop to them and a little smoke comes out. They are a timed fuse after all. I remember the first time at the Grenade range. I couldn't believe the concussion that these little things could create. How people live through the blasts are beyond me.

But, I thought the timer came in the form of a chemical timer inside the grenade...This would not be an external fuse, unless it is a grenade I have never heard of.

I believe the 'pop' is the spoon flying off and the striker hitting the primer that takes X many seconds to detonate the bursting charge. But I agree with iflylow74 that A) I'd LOVE to know where Beavis and Butthead managed to lay their hands on a live grenade, and B) that Butthead in the orange shirt nearly qualified for a Darwin Award.
The second guy looked like he was trying to hold the first guy there. Tnen it looks like he was shielding himself behind orange shirt. What a couple of f ups.

Looks like it may have been a pineapple grenade. They had a 5 second delay compared to the M-26 frag we threw in basic. From watching WWII documentarys, I've seen pineapples smoke after spoon released. Lot of stuff brought back from WWII. Could have been his grandfathers or someone. I would like to hear him laugh after a sucking chest wound from a big chunk on steel they put out.
This video has been on the internet for a long time now and I still want to smack the people in it everytime I see it.
I like how he just freezes up like "oh crap I just dropped a live grenade right at my feet I better stand here and stare at it while I think about to do next!!
