How a Grenade Works

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.

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'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.
No, putting the pin back in does actually work, if the handle hasnt come off.
Not GEERnade dammit.
