Video of two men fishing with grenades backfires.

Who is holding the beer (or vodka)? That seems mandatory for this sort of thing.

Nice lookin’ newsbabe. Dumbassed fishermen.

[lefty-lie-spy]

That is quite insane funny because they appear to be unhurt, but could someone with more knowledge about grenades explain why that one went off after less than a second? Seems like a defect or a grenade not meant to be hand-held.

Kind of like liberals running our country.

What fishing amateurs! You are suppose to use dynamite and you throw it AWAY from the boat. Uh... that is what I heard. /s

Kind of like liberals running our country.

Yes, but less deadly.

It looked to be a USSR F1 fragmentation grenade, they have several types of delay fuzes, one variation is a zero second delay used for booby traps. The delay is stamped on the blasting cap which is not visible unless you remove the fuze from the grenade body.

So close to receiving a nomination to the 2012 Darwinsky award.

Better luck next time Vladomir.

How do you say - “Hey y’all, watch this” - in Russian?

[lacrew]

....and we now rely on the Russians to get to the space station :(.

Premature Eboomeration. A common problem with liberal-commies and their junk.

Not fishing. Filming a scene for a movie. One of the guys died.

[Ingtar]

I wondered about that. The guy in front was in a very bad spot judging by the state of the boat.

Stuntman Killed

[NFHale]

Held it too long after the pin was pulled is my guess...

Another reason vodka and explosives don’t mix...

[NFHale]

Remember...when the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is longer your friend.

Most grenades have fuzes that burn for about 3 seconds after their pins have been pulled. An American grenade has a handle that’ s held on by a pin. There’s a cocked hammer under the handle that the handle holds in place. When the operator pulls the pin the handle is free to release as soon as the operator releases the handle. When the handle’s released, the hammer flips it off and goes forward, striking a percussion cap, thereby firing the cap. The cap’s detonation ignites the grenade’s fuze that normally burns about three seconds before it reaches the main charge. I suspect the grenade’s operator in this video may have continued to hold on to the grenade after he released the lever, thereby causing what appears to be a premature detonation.
