Army Basic used to have privates throw two (2) grenades in training at the grenade range. The units running rifle and grenade training were assigned this training on a rotating basis, it wasn’t their ordinary job, just part of their extra duties being on active duty.

The NCO who supervised the particular berm I was at was possibly the most frightened individual I’ve ever seen. He was probably a truck driver or cook or whatever. LOL. He started to make me nervous.

One thing I will say, is they are LOUD, louder than anything that size has any right to be. It seemed to me they would total a small house.
