I remember the first time throwing a live grenade. You have 4-8 seconds after pulling the pin and releasing the spoon/handle to get rid of it. I thought I would hear a "BOOM" and a cloud of dust.
But I heard a "BOOM" and felt like I was punched in the chest! I carried an M203 grenade launcher under the barrel of my M-16, at least those were centrifugally armed.
