If the pin was removed and the grenade tossed, why didn't it blow?

That's the $64 question.

Because it wasn't the "Monica" model?

Perhaps a dud or perhaps just a paper weight ......

Alternately is it possible, if you are quick, to grab a live grenade thats been thrown and hold the handle down so it doesn't detonate ? Or is it once the pin is pulled and the handle released there's no turning back ?

I didn't get to take hand greande training in High School.
