In a confined space! GUARANTEED HEARING LOSS!
Is a grenade launcher going off inside an office a bad thing ??
I’m glad no one was killed, but it’s funny like keystone cops.
Johnny Kerry got a purple heart, probably the same one Jo Jo gave to his “uncle”, after he shot himself in the ass with an M-79 grenade launcher.

“Have you seen the grenade launcher yhe Ukranians gave me? Here, hold my Zubr!”
It reads like a “Florida Man” news story.
There’s a Polish joke there somewhere.
Now that’s funny too...
BTW, who gives grenade launchers as gifts ?? Especially with a live round still in it.
Confirms what I have always known, Police Chiefs are chosen
based purely on politics.
They were never good or smart officers and come from the
batch of “yes men” at the bottom of the barrel.
Never look a gift grenade launcher in the mouth.
Sounds like the prefect gift.
Nicely done!
So how does a grenade ‘launcher’ blow up? Maybe if a round was left loaded in it like an m79, but if it was an rpg the grenade is external to the launcher. Just puzzling wording. If no one hurt it had to have been a small grenade like an m79 and blew up behind something that absorbed the blast/shrapnel. Guaranteed that hearing loss and tinnitus is going great guns with the folks that were in that office.
That’s called a “Desk Pop”…

Usually, they are an anti-tank devices with an HE-directed charge (AKA shaped charge) that focus most of the force on a small spot. A small hole penetrating and spewing very hot, high-velocity bits of steel can totally ruin your day and your tank.
Yes, a considerable reward blast would shred body parts and office furnture.
I can’t speak for others here, but I certainly wouldn’t send a live grenade to someone as a gift.
Well, it is a ‘gift’ that Poland will remember, and for quite a long time.
Szymczyk received two used anti-tank grenade launchers as presents.
Now he knows why
Good one LOL
I was told as a kid 1ea M-80 = 1/4 stick of dynamite.
