You mean that you see no legitimate "sporting use" for explosive devices designed to create shrapnel, don't you?

Every military force on earth sees a need for grenades. If you are ever forced to protect your community from an invader, you will no doubt support the use of such devices. If you are fortunate, your own army will be the ones using such devices.

If you are unfortunate, your own army will be the invading force.

Of course..... I was in the infantry for many years. I have seen a couple of fatal pipe bombings as well. They ain’t pretty!
