Bloody grenades!

An SL in Iraq just recently got the Medal of Honor after putting his helmet over a grenade and laying on his helmet to keep it from killing his men. He died a few days later from massive internal bleeding and organ damage.

That's like when a really fat woman farts next to you, and you can feel the shockwave.

I found this thread. Go and read the second posting of the thread. Some people should actually test this out. Also check if proning on top of a grenade can save other team mates around you.

don't know the exact numbers , but 8m is possibly a 100% lethal range for RGD-5

what????????????????????????????????
so much distance and i thought my dad went crazy or something when he said that a defensive grenade gets to 200 meters or attack grenade gets to 50 meters radius omg thats a fuel airbomb or something wtf
and by the way like i said its not a prob to not get killed by a nade just use your closest cover and if your in a building and somebody threw a nade your fuked

oh yeah one of our israeli troops on the second lebanon war jumped on a hezbollah nade and sacrificed himself than his entire squad stayed a live besides of him
his body stoped all the little metals flying from the nade what a hero

Ok so if the Devs got some new mod tools from dice that allow you to change the hard coded stuff would this be possible?

[El_Vikingo]

The mods would have to buy the code from EA, or they could ask Tom Hanks to crack it for them.

Do you understand the difference between fragmentation radius and 100% leathal area ?

[Superior Mind]

I read somewhere that if you prone up against a wall, facing it you will survive from a grenade blast. This happens because your clips into the wall, even if that's not what your view sees. So the grenade blast cannot hit your head and deal the 3x damage that it should. So I tested this out, and it works.

If you have time to run... you would have time to throw it back. If you don't have time to run...it doesn't matter!
