You can choose what kind of fuse you want on your grenade (5 sec., 10 sec., or instantaneous for booby traps). For this reason, my brother in the army forbids his men from using any grenades they didn't put together themselves.

The info outweighs the guy's gink factor... barely.

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with all the extra crap, but I still wanted to know.

Remember to bind a key to +use, and use that throw back a grenade for a nasty surprise.

Oh wait, we're not playing Day of Defeat...

That's interesting. So any movie where someone explodes from holding a grenade too long, or carefully puts the pin back in a grenade to defuse it is full of crap. It's almost as though Hollywood is feeding us misinformation so that we're ill prepared for the inevitable communist invasion. Those devious pinko bastards.

You do not put your own grenade together Morganth if someone told you that they were pulling your leg... You can't choose your fuse length either, though I understand that some special forces learn how to remove the fuse and shorten it but I'm not entirely sure if that's true or not.

I am sure however that most people call the "handle" a "spoon", because it's not really a handle (yes I know, it's not a spoon either, but I didn't name it).

That guy seems WAY too happy to be playing with a hand grenade. It's not a toy.

No, putting the pin back in does actually work, if the handle hasnt come off.

And holding it too long will kill you, if you've opened/dropped the spoon. You would do that to cook it off so that the enemy won't have time to react and throw it back or escape. So says Call of Duty 4.
