I never served, but my dad did. 36 years in the US Army, and officially retired last year (medically due to stroke). He had some weird >

She is being tazed and grabs right guys balls.

She does not dude just laughs because it's close to the region

Getting tazed, during which she involuntarily grabs one guy's balls, HARD.
AndreKroon
Not really, at most just the dick itself which can be painful but not as painful. But I think it's right above. The dude is laughing.
Cyzyk
Taser training. They zap you as part of it, so you know what it feels like. It is not fun, and you don't really get used to it.

Some of those grenade fails always make me pucker. 'Nades are no jokes. Except that guy who richochets the flashbang back into his hole.
LleuLlawGyffes
90% sure it was a dummy grenade. Basically just a fuze in an empty shell. Loud as fuck, but his ego is probably the worst casualty.

Probably depends on where you're at, when I went through basic we had 1 dude out of 170 fuck it up. Somebody always fucks it up.

An Indian missile the Brahmos. The thing that shoots off is the rockets that orient it from vertical to horizontal.

Its actually an Indian-Russian collaboration on the missile. Both countries developed it and now both have it in their arsenal.

I’m not military trained by any means, but if someone tells me to throw a grenade, I’m going to THROW that grenade!
Locolarue
Some people didn't play baseball...
OnyxPotatoe
Coworker of mine was infantry, told me a lot of the time people freak themselves out cuz of the live grenade in their hands which makes 1/2
DerRattenfngerVonHameln
Maybe it has something to do with things like revulsion reflex? Like throwing a big insect off your shoulder as soon as possible.
OnyxPotatoe
If you put a live grenade in my hands, that’s exactly what I’d do. I’m sure the more you practice the better you get.
OnyxPotatoe
Them throw the grenade as fast as they can rather than as hard or as far as they can. 2/2
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
I imagine people fucking up the arc and the release, causing the nade to fall shorter or even right into the ground like ten yards away. Lol
TavisMcNamara
Slight difference in how I would do it. Also not trained, but I would check to make sure it's not going to BOUNCE BACK AT ME first.
Tikityler
I totally agree with you. Now imagine adrenaline is rushing and its life or death that grenade gets there now. You make mistakes.
TavisMcNamara
Yeah, fair enough, but I'd still try to do a quick check. Just... Which angle is least likely to kill ME?
Tikityler
Knowing the tree is there and releasing it at the right spot are not the same skill. Perception vs Dexterity ;)
Tikityler
Also that guy knew he was throwing a fairly non harmful grenade. The guy in the pit had a bit more of a scare.
Seggs
story time. Marine Combat Training has a day where you learn how to throw grenades. ours was the m67. idk if that what they still use 1/?
ALethal
Damn, I'm old. We used the m35!
Seggs
the m67 weighs 14ozs, almost 3x the weight of a baseball. 2/?
Seggs
they teach you to throw it like a shot put; youre going to fuck your rotator cuff up if you try to overhand that thing. 3/?
TheAwakenedParagonFury
I've always had an issue with the shot put method; for an item that you need speed and precision for, the shot put method is awful -
TheAwakenedParagonFury
the world's best shot putter couldn't get half the speed, distance or precision of a mediocre baseball/overhand pitch. While the weight -
Seggs
they make you practice with 3 training rounds, just the fuse and some sand to have the same weight. 4/?
Seggs
everyone after the first group to throw their live m67 keeps practicing for an hour or so til all are done. 5/?
jiynxed
you'd be shocked how often people will flub the throw because their adrenaline rush makes them lose fine motor control.
CelticRain12
We had a dude throw southpaw even though he was a right and half-pulled the pin before dropping it strait down. Dumb as a rock that one.
jiynxed
alexander the great once said 'in battle, brains and shit will run out of your ears'. guess that guy had more of one than the other.
omh1
I imagine the is a reason, but couldn't you just keep giving them trainers and lie that they are real for the first couple 'live' throws?
TheFrenchCanadianTaunter
You don't want to lie to people about whether ammo is real or not. Even with trainers, it's unnerving at least the first few times.
FooQuuxman
And you *really* don't want people learning some form of "oh it's not going to be real" and getting people killed.
FooQuuxman
* the wrong people killed

bruudwin
dunno, but i remember at the time reading it was their first experience with jumping jacks since they werent really sure what to do

Weed doesn't fuck your coordination that bad. Opium, maybe?
keepcalmandgettothechoppa
Heroin. It's quite the problem there as you can imagine.
ReLeVaNtUSERNAMESareReLeVaNT
Has more that they have likely never done jumping jacks before and its awkward for them. Never had a PE class to train coordination as a kid
