Hm, I wonder why people were staring at me when I went out during lunch or when I was on the metro train this morning.
Oh right, I’m wearing a shirt that says “REMEMBER: After you pull the PIN, Mr. Grenade is NO LONGER our friend.”

lmao, thats fantastic
Heh, nice shirt…..
Never knew that the corporations printed stuff backwards ;)
Silly.
DUDE….. i want that shirt!
Epic lulz…you should have done your classic “BOOGABOOGABOO I’m a Muslim” trademark.
I regard that as highly racist, but very hilarious…lol
Muslim != Race
thats good;)were can i steal that shirt;)
LOL I want that shirt.
In reality, though, as long as you don’t let go of the handle, the fuse won’t start (unless they’ve changed the design in the last 20 years or so, which I doubt). You can still re-insert the pin and the fuse won’t light.
Actually, it’s called a spoon, not a handle. it releases a hammer that strike a primers that sets off a gun powder fuse that (rather reliably) burns for 4 seconds, which in turn sets off a blasting cap inside the grenade body, in turn detonating the Comp-B inside making for a small boom.
I say small because i mostly dealt with 155mm Howitzer shells rather than small munitions…
As my mind, in a good-natured smart arsed way (as it often does at 2am) goes “Fair enough. Pull the pin, drop the spoon into your off hand, lobbeth thou thy holy handgranade, blow up the other guy, and then use the spoon to eat some cereal”
Follwed quickly by “Spooooooon! *BOOM*” (a la The Tick)
My mind frightens me sometimes…
if you’re going to lob, you don’t drop the spoon. you thorw the whole thing, the spoon will fly off. your tthumb will serve as the spoon stay, and the safty release. there’s a small copper clip on the M67 that fits into the other hole on the fuse body that disaables the removeale of the spoon, even if the pin is pulled. you don’t see it often because many soldiers remove it prior to equiping themselves to save the trouble (and potentially wasted ammunition) of remvoveing that stupid clip. not only will you probably forget to remove it when you go to use it (resulting in ammunition that’s either wasted or a freebie to the enemy), it gets caught on EVERYTHING. the only time you want to drop the spoon is if you intend to drop it though an opening letting it burn off a little before you deploy it.
I know how to lob one. Like I said, it was my smartassed brain’s response at 2am =]
roflmao nice shirt
Where’d you get that? I want one XD
Nice shirt.
Personally: http://www.palmercash.com/images/products/guys-weapons-big.jpg
HA! BRILLIANT!!
very nice. although Snowraven is right (even with new grenades its the same system, the handle is the fuse)
personally if theres one i’d want it would be
“proud member of the Redneck Army”
and on the back
“because you can never have too many guns”
You and Ananth are the cool kids of the Webcomic world.
I guess Mookie is like the loner Anti-Hero with small but profound lines.
this made me remember a guy in a old anime i saw.
The guy had a t-shirt taht sayd:
Front: I don’t need guns!
Back: Cause your already dead!
By the time you saw his back everyone in the room was dead >P
Ah, you crazy brown folks and your practical jokes. *obnoxious chuckle*
Are you getting the “lulz” at the expense of innocent train goers? If so, I salute you, sir! :)
True Snowraven is right, but what are the chances that you’ll be clear headed enough to remember that? Assuming you know this little bit of trivia.
Chances I’ll remember it are pretty good. I grew up around marines (some of which were Recon) and had a great grandfather who was a demolitions man. I learned a lot about things that go boom =]
Then again, I also spent a fair part of my childhoold training in martial arts, so I also learned a lot about things that go stab, hack, and slice as well *wicked grin*
BEST…SHIRT…EVER!
Awesome shirt! Ananth must be rubbing off on you. No Eyes! j/k

Whatever happened to the voting on that contest you entered?
Could you send us a link where i can buy that shirt?

I’m actually really suprised you didn’t get arrested. I bet you would’ve accross the pond, here in Big-Brother Oh-so-Paranoid England…
ROTFL. Me thinks you is qwazzy. XD :o :D :P
That is so cool, i wannntttt…but in England I’d get arrested, :O that muslim has a grenade on his shirt…arrest him…lol
I still think you would look better with the shirt off. … I don’t mean off off, just… Uh… *flees*
Love the shirt! lol
Hah! As if a grenade with the pin in was of any use to anybody.
lol!!! nice shirt
yay, nice shirt. Where can I get one?
What? Really? But I thought he’ll stay as my friend even after he made a pretty sound and exlposion. O_O
Of course he will. And he’ll show that by giving you a whole bunch of shrapnels. Nice guy, isn’t he?
