Future of hand grenades - can't wait to yell "Yeet Out!"
For the first time in 40 years The US Army could be getting a brand new hand grenade. This next generation multi purpose grenade would replace the current M67 fragmentation grenade. It would have some really interesting much needed upgraded capabilities.
It promises to bring the ancient art of hurling a jar of explosives at your enemy into the modern technologically fancy day and age. Before we start lets watch the results of my field test to see if even after being out of the Army for 10 years I’m still able to throw a grenade 40 meters, that’s the same distance as your average soldier according to the field manual.

The Army is opting for a very different type of grenade design here; the prototype renderings show it no longer has the spoon clip that has been a staple of the typical hand grenade for as far back as the M1 of WWI. Improvements since then have included moving to a circular design which is easier to throw than a pineapple shaped grenade, we’ve also been working on decreasing the chances of it making up its own mind on when it wants to detonate. This is thanks to using the more stable explosive called Comp B inside the M67.
The Next Generation Hand Grenade doesn't have a catchy name for it right now so they’re calling it the “the enhanced tactical multi-purpose hand grenade” catchy, put that on a bumper sticker.
The biggest upgrade here is that it gives the operator the option to switch the grenade between concussion or fragmentation explosion types with the flick of a switch. Concussion grenades only have a blast radius of 2 meters because they don’t send out any shrapnel as opposed to Fragmentation grenades which have a 15 meter blast radius sending pieces of metal flying out everywhere at high velocities. After not going out side for three months if either one went off in my apartment it would be an improvement.
