Grenade! Everybody loves grenades, things that goes kaboom including the Gunny. But there are usually two separate groups you can fall into when talking about these awesome balls of explosives.
One group is that: people whose only experience with grenades comes from video games like James Bond, Call of Duty, and Halo. Realistic, no, but enough to know they are super cool and effective. The other group, of course, consists of military servicemen and woman who have been specially trained and taught on all the actual ins and outs of grenades and anything that will launch them. (M-203)
Most people fall into one of those categories, and there will be some in between. No matter where youre at, though, youre guaranteed to enjoy this video.
Pro Shooter Kirsten Joy Weiss shoots grenades alongside R Lee Ermey "The Gunny" and gives us details about the M32A1 multi-shot grenade launcher along with a huge explosion of course. See the full footage of Gunny shooting the M32A1 grenade launcher here.
I think they “helped” that explosion, a little bit. Or a lot.
Good vid, though.
"After you pull his pin, Mr. Grenade is not your friend anymore."
All is good till the spoon flies off
Looks like it went through the slit, and out through the back.
After the grenade blew up behind the target, the pyro team set off the charge in the building.
Really good shot though!
Nice butt!-HERS.
My father didn’t speak much about WW2 but he was extremely fond of hand grenades,, kept him alive while clearing dozens of villages on his trek north to the fatherland.
She does have a nice turd-cutter
Who’s the honey with the Gunny?
“Nice butt!-HERS.”
Yes. My compliments to her tailor.
And the ‘bunker’ looks like it was made out of sticks and sheetrock. Works for TV, I guess.
I loved the MK19 our unit had during the ‘90 - ‘91 war.
I wish we would have had phosphorus rounds for it.
bfl
Plus the Mk19 has range. Shooting the Mk19 rounds in this hand held would get your shoulder broke probably.
They say it above. She is not just a gun bunny, Kirsten is an Olympic shooting athlete and geekier about guns than most men.
Just give me a Mk-19 Mod 3 and unlimited ammo and I’ll be happy.
I agree... The Mk-19 was my baby.
It would mess up the breech and probably split the barrel.
