I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

What does a grenade weigh?
Is it 1 lb....1.5 lbs, 2 lbs?
We did not use them in the Coast Guard, so I do not know.
But I could toss a 16 lb shotput 43 feet in college. Not good enough for competition, but not a bad heave!
Discus? 120 feet. Hated that damn thing!

There are a lot of different types of grenades. Almost all weigh under 2 pounds and most around 1 pound. The latest grenade was developed and fielded last year and allows the user to select between concussion or fragmentation with the flip of a lever. There are also different types of grenades for grenade launchers... different animal and usually launched from some type of weapon.Originally Posted by Elessar

I know. They have selector switches on their weapons and about half the time select the wrong mode of fire....A recruit with a "selector switch". Now WHATEVER could possibly go wrong THERE?

Had a chaplains assistant once that could not hit anything even at point blank range. He was a something else. Kept him around though because he was a good Chaplain's assistant ...
