Bloody grenades!

You can't throw nades back?!? Don't you watch movies?!? (joke)

When in face with death ppl just get a mental block and can't remember prety much anything and rely on instinct wich in that situation probably says either "Run away" "Throw the nade back" or most likely "Pray to you false gods for mercy "

The USMC MOUT field manual directs Marines never to "cook off" grenades unless the are very experienced experts in their use. It seems to imply that most Marines would not be considered sufficiently "expert".

No no, everybody know the correct protocol is to insert head between legs and apply pressure with lips to the end of kissing your ass goodbye.

As the reaction occurs, fragments are already moving outward. So if the fragments reach the helmet before the reaction is completed, those fragments may still be accelerating.

It's the same principle that causes barrel length to influence muzzle velocity in many cases.

ahh, thats true. i just figured a grenade was kinda like.. boom. not booo-oooo--oooom (exaggerated) cool though. i never really thought about how that applied to barrels though, thanks! so in the barrel, the blast keeps the power behind the bullet longer instead of a short barrel reaching the end and just shooting the power/blast out the sides? thats cool... learn somethin' new every day...

Right. But it all depends on the charge used. If it's a very fast-burning charge, the round may not have left the barrel by the time the charge is combusted to the point where there is no longer force acting on the round. If you've got muzzle-flash occurring though, that's a sure indicator that you could do with a longer barrel.

Hmm very interesting and LOL to the second part. I would imagine after the years of BF2 combat I have seen I would be considered an expert in a variety of military skill sets I still think your f**k'd if a gernade lands close to you and it hasn't been cooked off a bit
