As part of Army basic training in the 80's we each had to throw a live grenade at a purpose built range. Group of us went in a concrete bunker and received detailed instruction. Then went out one at a time to a little concrete walled area with a drill sergeant who carefully had you pull the pin and toss grenade over concrete wall into a pit then immediately forced you down to ground behind wall.
I remember being very nervous hoping I would not eff up. Even wearing hearing protection, I could not believe how loud that little grenade was.... Made the M80's of my youth seem like a tiny firecracker.
