Back in 68 I was in ITR at Camp Pendleton, a dumbass in our platoon picked up a dud M-79 round off our live fire range.
Blew off his right arm, half his head and a huge portion of his upper torso.
Just lucky for the rest of us we were keeping a 10 meter interval, first time I ever saw a person blown up.

M-79 rounds are some of the worst. They are small, so the fuses don't have much room for safeties.
Lots of duds with M-79s, and lots of them go off with a little jostling.
They are also meant to produce lots of casualties, so they are deadly for their size.
