In a vacuum, Id personally think very low. Though I sure as hell wouldn't pull the pin to find out.

It's surprising how many folks came back from the wars with live ordnance.

Thing is when you pull the pin the spoon still has to release to start the primer. So in addition to pulling the pin, no one had a grip on the spoon.

Leave that stuff where it sits and call the PD. Especially if you have no idea how to handle it.

Right. Or if you're going to do something stupid, at least go outside. And throw the damn thing for all of the good that it would do. I can't even imagine what that would do to the inside of a wood frame and drywall home. I have to imagine that a large portion of the inside of the home is fubar.

LOL! Well played, sir! Toss it to them as you drive past, and then gun it.

Yep. Completely unfathomable.

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.

by comparison, they were. But I get what you're saying.

They even do it while driving, walking the dogs, or instead of sleeping.

But, but, there are those videos out there. You've seen the good stuff by the 8sec mark, and then there's plenty more where that came from.
