As I recall, Kingery’s specialty was buying inert grenade bodies, smuggling them south of the border, then activating them with a fuse, explosive filler, and plugs.

The inert grenade bodies are not serial numbered, and are often sold as gag items in the United States.

The key is activating the grenades, which is no small task. The fuse is key, as faulty fuses are as likely to kill the user as the people the user is intending to kill.

Note that three police men and *four* cartel members were reported killed by these “weapons”.

I would rather not have a “weapon” that is as likely to kill me as the person that I try to use it on...

The fuse is just a DuPont blasting cap.

A simple blasting cap will initiate immediately.

Not what you want in a hand grenade.

I get my grenades at “Grenades R Us”, right next to “ Toys R Us” and “Tanks for Tots”.

I thought everyone did this too.

Flamethrowers? Gee, I need a couple because my BBQ grill is broken. (Hint: See Gary Busey light up a fireplace with a flamethrower in the movie “DC Cab”. The best scene in the whole thing and Busey was at his crazy best).

Reports of grenade purchases prompted the ATF to raid the Branch Davidians....go figure.

How do you trace a spent grenade?

Footprints in the butter?

No, it’s a staged cap. They used to be available in 20, 15, 10, 5, and 3 seconds. Then when the mining engineers learned about using one concussion blast to ricochet it off another that’s when the demand for det cord went through the roof.

No doubt that the Mexican Army has hand grenades. Question is, are they manufactured in Mexico or acquired externally?

In any event they could be from Army stockpiles.

It won’t matter when 0 gets his super majority in 2014. The Stupid party will see the lowest turnout for door knocking, calling, and contributions in history. I can picture how the campaigns will go.
“Vote for John Boner.”
“Why?”
“Well. Because, uh, I’ll be your best friend!”

I see you grasp The Tao of Republican Orthodoxy.

“Gun Show Loophole!

Thats where I buy all of my grenades!”

I just ask the guy who runs the fruit stand outside the gun show for the “little pineapples”.
