Haha I've got a grenade!!

[Charley]

Imagine my suprise when my dad told me he'd picked up something from our mutual buddy in the marines. When he got back from the auto shop, he tossed it to me.

Of all things, an M69 fragmentation grenade :D

So now its sitting on my desk and awesome and stuff.

Charley + Grenade = Good idea?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Strangely enough, I have no problem with that being in the house.

[Sarr Koon]

Damn. Are those legal for civilians to own or even possess?

[Shawn]

I have a couple, sans core, laying around. I think that, if they were functional, the temptation to try one out would be too great. ;)

Nope. Good thing they're USMC trainer grenades, and use blasting caps instead of a core full of tri-nitro toluene ;)

Still, I'm pretty sure if I yanked the pin out of these and flipped the spoon, it would be enough of a bang to get the police called on me for public disturbance, so I'll pass :lol

Anyway, here are some pics:

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol OMFG I basicly fell out my chair!! :lol That's the funniest picture I've seen in a while. Great expression.


That's really pretty cool actually. I'd like to have one. But it'd just be more stuff to sit on my desk and I've got enough of that.

[Charley]

Shawn's right. Its really too much temptation. Its like the ring of power, except the ring of power wasn't begging you to create a cool explosion.

I'd loooove to flip the spoon on this bad boy and chuck it in my yard, but I don't want to get thrown in the pokey tonight :)

When you do end up chunking, gotta get us a video feed. Yeah? :D

I'm not gonna activate it. I'm officially borrowing it from my friend :)

[Jared Mriad]

Ah. Still cool. :)

Charley: Your facial expression in that third picture reminded me of a younger George Carlin.....I wonder why?

And I wonder what would happen if anyone found out you had an explosive - even a Marine training grenade - in your house...needless to say, I wouldn't want to know how long you'd be in the loony bin. :D

Dummy ordinance is the least potent of all the stuff I own. This thing is a glorified firecracker, with a metal housing dressed around it. Nothing more.

[AmazonBabe]

That third pic is awesome!!!

"OMG! I PULLED THE PIN!!! AAAAAAA!!!!!"

:lol

Classic. :)

[Charley]

Fortunately, I had a spare grenade pin on my desk :cool

[Razielle Shadana]
