Since my childhood I love illustrations and animations of how mechanical devices work and your channel is a gem for me, It is so surprising you dont have millions of subscribers , keep up the good work sir, your channel is a blessing !
Ppp probably look
If you're into illustration and mechanical engineering you should get into hand drafting. I went to college for furniture building and one of the classes was"old school" drafting (like AutoCad) but100% by hand. It's suuuuuuper tedious but incredibly satisfying and interesting I think. I got to a point where it was almost meditative. =) Have you ever drafted before?
Snap. I love those cutouts on mechanical stuff so you can see how it's made or operates
If he would narrate himself and not use a computer generated voice. They pronounce words incorrectly and sound hollow or monotone. Probably would help immensely.
I'm addicted to pigger nussy 🤠
Great channel, some of the best explanation of weaponry. keep up the work
Many thanks for all the effort poured into this - so much more helpful to see inside these devices and how they operate. Cheers for this 👍🍻🇨🇦
Love the fallout styled animation explanation. Extremely comprehensive. Learned immensely more than i knew.
In the Italian army until the 1990s the Beretta BM59 rifle was available which had the native possibility of launching Energa and Super Energa anti-tank grenades. It was necessary to raise the alidade (which, in addition to being an aiming device, closs the gas recovery system so that the gases from the explosion of the blank cartridge were fully available), engage the grenade and press the trigger. It is highly advisable to use the winter trigger because if you used the standard one you risked breaking your finger due to the strong recoil
In Switzerland we had the 43 Stick Grenade to the mid/late 80s. In the animation the flight is shown wrong, the heavy head of the grenade was the centre of rotation during flight.
I wondered if that was the case! Thanks for the clarification.
One variant of that stick grenade was used in the movie "Mission In Action 3". Such a grenade was thrown behind character Colonel Braddock. When it landed on the ground (presumed now the grenade was armed), he looked at the dropped grenade, and knew he had to run away. It did not blow right away because of the so-called "delay fuze", but he knew he had to run away fast, and he did, but as soon as he ran 2 steps, the grenade blew up and he took the full brunt of the blow-up, catapulting him as far as 15 feet, because he was still in the kill zone of that blown grenade.
In "Saving Private Ryan", a WW2 movie, you see the Wehrmacht fighters throw stick grenades at several American soldiers perched on a 2nd floor of a war-torn building. The good news is that thanks to the delay fuse, the soldiers realized the sticks would blow in about 1-2 seconds so they had to jettison the grenades away out of sight before they blew. The grenades blew, but they survived.
Man I’ve never seen any videos as informative and well illustrated as this these videos on this channel… I just watched another video about different types of Artillery shells and was absolutely blown away with that video as well, definitely worth watching!
Lots of useful information. In particular, I discovered why modern hand grenades are so different from WWII hand grenades. Great work.
I saw a great presentation about vietnam military equipment at my highschool once, led by a vietnam vet. The most interesting part was when he said that the shape of the grenades were different partly because most americans knew how to throw baseballs, so they went with rounder shapes, where the more european countries weren't as familiar with throwing spheres and used sticks instead
Jon I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
@@flat-earther Dear lord This has to be the most bizarre thing thats ever stumbled, fallen, spilled and splattered on the floor, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, that I have ever seen on the internet... I thought people were overreacting about the whole flat earth believers, I honestly thought, that barely anyone could actually believe that the earth was flat... Perinne, you've been lied to. I think a rational human has the capacity to believe something completely incorrect, so I can't call you crazy, you've just been lied to.
@@sirsnek6562 There is empirical proof of no curvature which is impossible if the earth was a globe. There's no belief required in that, unlike the globe model which has no empirical proof to support it so belief is it's only support. I suggest watching the series first before criticizing to learn stuff you may have not heard before. I assume you wouldn't want someone criticizing your work if they haven't first studied it.
@@flat-earther There are empirical *proofs* of the earth's curvature, and beyond that, proof that its a globe, not merely curved. You have completely forgotten basic realities of how the world, and how anything *moves* or even *exists* to begin with. I've heard the hypotheses before, they only work within a set of parameters that quickly fall apart as soon as you start to study and experiment with *why* things move from your hand when you let go, *why* things fall, *why* you can throw something up in the air and watch it eventually change course and fall back down again. It's *my* hypothesis that you were taught the earth was a globe before you had a chance to understand, learn, play and experiment with any of what I just mentioned, leaving you behind, just like the kid that couldn't do fractions because he didn't understand how to put two numbers together, and how to do it faster with multiplication. *AFTER* you refamiliarize yourself with the most basic things you look over everyday due to how instinctual they are, then you should start looking up. To the sky. Track the movement of constellations throughout the night, use a camera for a timelapse. Keep track of shadows of the sun, where they move, what angle they fall, and how that changes throughout the day. video call with a trusted flat earther in a different part of the country to the east or west, or a different country all together. There are people that believe the earth is a globe without any actual understanding because they weren't given the time or environment to *really* learn. I'm gonna guess that you used to think the earth was curved without understanding it, too. Don't let anyone reeducate you about how the earth is round either, you'll probably just miss the point all over again. *Reeducate yourself*. This is how you find your red pill. Look for where the flat earth falls apart, if you truly believe its true. Then we can talk.
"A grenade is a weapon made by putting explosives or chemicals into bullets." No. A bullet is a projectile fired from a gun. This is not just semantics, since explosive small arms and light weapon ammunition (although the latter would typically be called a 'shell' at 20mm calibre or above). The Oxford definition works well i.e. "a small bomb thrown by hand or launched mechanically"
Quite right. Grenades were invented as a way of giving explosive weaponry to an individual soldier.

@@InkSplatter446 I don't think it's even their second. This is pretty clearly a Wiki article fed into Google Translate and then fed into a decent Text-to-Speech program. You can tell from the multiple typos it read out, the way it pronounced a few words, and the way it read "MK," which is supposed to be reak "mark." This channel is a content farm, and going off of the limited amount of art, I'd say China or Russia.
@@isaacschmitt4803 Don’t forget all of the bot-like comments that praise the video and only have one or two likes each.
You should blog about it
Thanks for the crash course. Can't wait for the next one.
I love how informative this is
Those were very good explanations of how these weapons really work.
Can confirm that outside grooves on grenades don't do much in dividing them into fragments. I have a piece of a Soviet F-1 grenade that was used on the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it is like 1/4 of the whole granade itself. Seems that kill radius of each grenade is very random.
That's a pretty bad ass piece of history to pass down to the grand kids man. I'm guessing you live in that area then? I hope you're safe my man.
Well that's a Russian pos for you...
@@ScumfuckMcDoucheface nah, my uncle gave it to me. He lives near Kyiv. I'm safe right now, thanks for asking!
Nice that the Ruskies haven't killed the internet yet, they're saying that the civilians love them and that the army is all nazis lmao
It looks more designed for grip
High Quality Illustrations, definitely needs more views/subs
"Remember kids, once you pull the pin, Mr. Hand Grenade is no longer your friend." :)
Ive got a couple hollowed out MK2 grenades, and i can unscrew the parrs and get a good look at tbe components. Ive understood them for a while, but i still like seeing what a complete system looks like. And even a hollow one is heavy, not something you wanna have to throw without some practice lobbing it.
Man the amount of right vs wrong info in this video is astounding.
I was really expecting little information from this video, but in fact got pretty accurate schematical drawings on different types of igniter! Bravo, that was a very good presentation.
8:48 мангал не затащил😂
During yugoslavia war some home made adapters for standard yugo handgranades has been used on AK's (fired with blank bullets). Such attachment screwed at front of the AK barrell hold safety lever of standard handgranade (M75 or M52), operator just removed safety pin and fired blank bullet....
9:33- “Stab Lee” 🙄😂
Is this AI narrated too? There's some interesting mispronounciation of words ("stably", "napalm")
Lol
Probly not.
@@rautamiekka it is ai narrated dude. just listen to how monotone it is. if that wasn't enough, the pauses are the exact same time appart, and some are even in strange points it each sentence
@@thelaxsoviet5922 understandable with the spacing, but monotone, ever see Penguinz0 ?
You see KZhead automation is the best business
In vietnam a training grenade fuse was 5 sec and combat fuse 3 sec. During grenade train,you death grip the arm an pull the pin then throw. These type grenades where throw high into the trees to increase fragmentation.
Usually vids like this are a pointless waste of time. This video provided lots of extra little details that some military manuals don't even cover. Well done.
this channel has excellent descriptions of how weapons work !!!
It's a crappy bot channel.
Incendiary grenades do NOT use napalm, except in movies. Real incendiary grenades use Thermite, which is mostly powdered iron oxide (rust), powdered aluminum, and a few trace ingredients that allow for quick ignition.
The German Stielhandgranade still worked in such a way that you had to unscrew a cap from the bottom and then a string with a ceramic ball would hang out from it and you had to pull it and throw it away Throwing it was a bit interesting because it had to be thrown by spinning it, unlike Russian or American hand grenades The operation of the other round hand grenades is simpler, you only have to pull out the round safety pin, then as long as you are holding the grenade there is no problem, but if the metal tab on the side falls off the grenade, it becomes ready to fire from then on, so you have to throw it away within a second because it explodes in your hand and blows off half your body along with your head A rifle grenade is usually not converted from a hand grenade, but there is a separate rifle grenade with a launcher, in which case a blank cartridge must be used to launch it The Germans already used a rifle grenade called "Schiessbecher" for the KAR98K under WW2 This is, for example, the AMP 69 of the Hungarian Army, introduced in 1975, which was specially designed for launching rifle grenades
eine kleine Geschichte zur Stielhandgranate: Februar 1916, deutsche Truppen lagen in den Gräben der ersten Linie, fertig zum Angriff auf Verdun. Aufgrund des schlechten Wetters wurde der Angriffstermin mehrfach verschoben. Die Sicherungskappen der Stielhandgranaten waren noch aus gepresster Pappe, das tagelange Ausharren in den Gräben bei nassem Wetter weichte sie auf. Am Angriffstag (21.02.16) stiegen die Sturmtruppen aus den Gräben, die Handgranaten am Gürtel eingehakt. Sie kämpften sich durch Gestrüpp, Buschwerk, zerschossene Wälder und Stacheldraht Richtung feindliche Linien. Die Sicherungskappen der Handgranaten fielen ab, die Kordel mit der Keramikkugel hing heraus, verfing sich im Gestrüpp und zündete die Ladung. Die Explosion zerrisss den Träger und tötete Kameraden in der Nähe. (Quelle: German Werth "Verdun, die Schacht und der Mythos")
Not all grenades use shrapnel medium. In fact few do. The shrapnel is made with the casing itself in most cases. And none of them use "bullets" as a medium.
from the amount of vids like this i watch, im definitely on some list
Excited for the next video!!
While in the Marines we had a test with a picture of an M-26 grenade with the question of what its purpose was: smoke, concussion, fragmentation, or chemical. Some wise guy wrote below, "to kill".
It's a frag that replaced the unpredictable old MK2 grenades
he's not wrong lol
Soviet RGD-33 granade pictured tucked in soldier's belt has quite different fuse than friction fuse you described. And not only stick-shaped grenades had friction fuse
A lot of japanese grenades had friction fuzes I believe.
This is amazing.... so informative
Props to the camera guy who stood so close filming these grenades go off.
excellent video and expalnation!! truly engaging!
Good explanation mate
Just keep up with this! Thank you and greetings from 🇷🇸 😃
Thanks man, this saved me when I was doing a school sience project.
Keep it up and get your deserved share of subs.
great job guys. keep going!
I love the positive vibes! 🌞
Nice video. Learned a lot.
You should do a video on the Italian SCRM35, OTO Mod.35 and Breda Mod.35 "red devil" impact grenades. I believe that the Czechs also had a similar grenade.
When you pull the pin, Mr Grenade is no longer your friend.
Very interesting. What little I previously knew on the subject came from movies. Thanks.
(Read this one please) On 4:35 when you mention and explain about the unoticed inertia is responsible for the ignition helped a lot to understand the mechanics so please keep explaining about the little and unnoticed science principles that involved in the working in such fire arms etc. Please explain them on your upcoming videos too. IF you find any difficulty in understanding my comment,sorry because am not good at english.
Excellent educational information. Thanks
Reminds me of a Milton Jones joke: My grandfather would never throw anything away. He was killed in the war. Holding on to a hand grenade.
Despite the robotic voice, this was an excellent presentation. I was unsure when I first heard it, but this was pretty well-informed and interesting to watch.
Great presentation!
The M-26 gernade used in vietnam war same size as a base ball exploded in 30 sec.
Excellent channel 🤞💫
Another masterpiece!🙌 Would love to see more work on artillery.P
Pretty darn good lol !
Quality content
I had a Polish roommate in the Air Force, we use to kid him about the new Polish Atomic Hand Grenade, it had a fifty-meter blast radius, but was so heavy you could only throw it twenty meters. What made it even funnier, he thought it was a really great joke.
OK video,! However, slight omission. Some grenades were launched from early M16s using a Nato 22mm diameter flash suppressor and a grenade retaining spring The system was dropped because of having too excessive time to use a Grenade Launching Blank cartridge ( no projectile). The reason for dropping use was having to manually load a GLB. Nessatating removal of the ball round and then placing the GLB in the chamber then placing the grenade used on the end of the rifle barrel. Live ball M193 could not be used to launch the rifle grenade. Doing so would result in injury to the shooter,and the detonation of the grenade. The M203 did not require such excessive time constraints. Faster reload times, and more variety of rounds.
Great channel
Great work sir!👍 Good research.
The last grenade shown from soviet era was RKG-3. Ruchnnaya Kumulatsionnaya Granata. I have used many times in Georgia, when Russia invaded in 1992
Great job.!'
nice tutorial bro!
Great animations but a few technical inaccuracies: 1. It’s not true that hand grenades NEVER have instantaneous fuzes. Some countries ship hand grenades with the option to insert an instantaneous fuze, thus providing the ability to turn the grenade into an anti personnel fragmentation mine. 2. Although less common, stick grenades didn’t completely disappear after WW2. The Chinese continued to make a stick Grenade for some time. 3. Rifle grenades did started with adaptions to hand grenades in order to increase range. However they very quickly became a different sun-group of ammunition and it’s generally inaccurate to use the term ‘rifle hand grenade’. The M31, for example, can’t be thrown by hand. 4. Not all rifle grenades use ballistite (‘blank’) cartridges. Some use a ‘bullet catcher’ mechanism which allows the user to use a standard round, as does a ‘bullet through’ grenade. These types reduce the time in which the rifleman can’t use his rifle while setting up the grenade.
The AI narration of this channel cracks me up. It sounds like the way I've heard my Cambodian friend's dad speaks, as English is not his first language
Good production values
Those grena des look cool
When I was in the Marines we were told there was a 5 second fuse however the pomegranate is made by the cheapest “Lowest bidder” generally you do not want to cook the grenade! Explosion times may vary! Not that anybody cares but my reduction to a grenade was in MCT Camp Lejune, it was the instructor “we were in this like shed structure” the instructor was deepest in the shed to my left was this female & me, the instructor pulled out what look like a peanut jar “aluminum container that peanuts come in” remove the top followed by pulling the pin to open “remove the aluminum that sealed the grenade” tipping the container upside down having the grenade fall into his hand, only do then toss it unexpectedly through the female hitting her in the chest “gently” only for her to freak out in the grenade to fall to the ground! Second it hit her chest, she screamed and try to leave the shed! However I processed it as instructor what is not running then we're good! I thought it was funny I also thought it was interesting how the grenades were sealed in a peanut can! Another story: “for those who are interested” Took place in Ft Leonard Wood, everybody was sitting cross legged in a semi circle around another instructor, he was holding a practice grenade “hollowed out with a replaceable primer/ fire cracker that function exactly like a grenade” he was explaining how a grenade function, pulling the pin, letting the spoon eject, then barely tossing it in the group the majority of the people ran for their lives!
I read somewhere that in the German Army in WW2, there was a 'fashion' for young officers to show nerve by putting a grenade on the Stahlhelm helmet that the officer was wearing and pulling the fuze, so that it detonated and the shrapnel and blast were deflected by the helmet. Not sure if this happened as the shock wave would have done some serious harm and it can't have done much for the ears.
100% no
Great description of the many types of Grenades. My only gripe is the robotic voice. There are plenty of well spoken Humans out there.
Awesome well done! How did you get Watson to read all this?
The illustration at 0.33 seconds shows the thumb holding down the lever. I was taught all four fingers should be holding down the lever. Less likely to slip off in times of stress.
I dont recall any grenades containing napalm. There is the M34 which was used as an incendiary and instant smoke screen grenade. The AN-M14 is a popular incendiary grenade and it doesnt explode either.
Exactly right
napalm is news to me too thermite and white phos incendiaries but napalm!!
Napalm in a grenade would be borderline useless.
There was a small napalm rocket developed for the The M202 FLASH. Was supposed to replace the flame thrower.
@@johno1544 it wasn't napalm, it was a pyrophoric aluminum compound
Very well delivered. Thank you 🙏
I benefited a lot - greetings to you - may Allah reward you with all the best
Is it possible to put the pin back after I have removed it? I need a quick replay to the question!
Thanks for the info. Great explanation sir. Can you explain cluster bomb and thermobaric weapon if its okay. 😊
Isis: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
1:46 "sir the kids menu is only for ki-"
In france we still using rifle grenades
When I entered the army in 1982 we were told the shape of the grenades were made round, because of most Americans having played baseball. It just like having a baseball in your hand. Thrown differently but it feels natural
good video.
Thanks for the tutor-
At 8:17 they mention that white phosphorus is the filler for smoke grenades. Although there are white phosphorus grenades, I think it’s important to point out that the filler for normal smoke grenades is not white phosphorus but a different chemical.
which chemical?
@@ericcartman2119 The filler consists of 250 to 350 grams of colored smoke composition (mostly potassium chlorate, lactose, and a dye) in virtually any color. White smoke grenades typically use hexachloroethane-zinc and granular aluminum
When insanity and technology come together...
Very nice 👍
4:00 "Stick-shaped grenades can be thrown farther because they are easier to throw than the sphere-shaped ones." **throws stick grenade a quarter of a mile**
The vog-17 is an fragmentation grenade?
Perfect bro
Golden simple and clear language
your accent is getting better, keep improving!
I saw that RG-14 on the thumbnail, I clicked. I'm a simple man
Regardless of how effective a granade could Be, ain't winners in a war.
3:24 the sensitive material that causes igniton during friction is red phosphorus
are grenades filled with gunpowder or some synthetic explosive?
Hello. Can you make videos about rockets, mines and reccoilless projectiles?
Keep in mind....a 62 gr 5.56 round moves appx 3200 fps. A piece of shrapnel from a grenade is moving appx 25,000 fps... HUGE difference in what a jagged lump of shrapnel does vs a projectile from a gun.
Good to know. If I ever want to obliterate some people with class I'll use a grenade instead of a gun. Way easier to carry, silent and deal severe psychological damage to those around the dead.
I know you are trying to sound smart and apparently 17 people believd your BS 25000 fps? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 7.6km in 1 second? Lmao, an F16 goes at mach 2 (2400kmh or 666m/s). A tank shell goes at 4000 fps Heres the real number _Shrapnel can travel at 3000 feet per second in all directions from the explosion_ VOD is the velocity or rate of propagation of chemical decomposition/reaction... Not shrapnel
"I know you're trying to sound smart ..." 🤣
@@nostro1940 can you imagine shrapnel flying at 25000fps tho? It would absolutely destroy everything in a really dragonball z kind of way, right? That ammount of force must be enough to make the shrapnel vaporize and pretty much delete everything that comes in contact with its dust
No, 15000-20000 foot/sec is the velocity of chemikal reavtion of explocive, not velocity of shel
Great video. Most of this I already knew or had a pretty good idea how it worked being a history and war buff since high school. Though I do have a question. At 9:35 you go into the mechanics and actions of a spigot launcher. This was something I knew nothing about but am amazed at most of it. The grenade is inserted into an adapter tube then into the Spigot launcher. The explosive gases from the blank rifle cartridge blasts the grenade assembly into the air toward the enemy. Now, how is the safety pin pulled from the hand grenade? How is the spoon released when we can clearly see that it is constrained by a clip on the launcher? That part is not followed up on and explained. My father is a Marine and says that you DO NOT pull a safety pin out with your teeth like you see in movies. They are restrained quite well, one would pull his teeth out before that safety came out. It takes a determined pull to remove the safety pin. And what about timing? It takes a few seconds for the detonator to activate the explosive material. Otherwise you're simply delivering a perfectly good hand grenade to the enemy without the satisfaction of it's detonation. They may return it in a proper manner. Answer?
InRangeTV has a good video on the M1 Garand spigot launcher if you are looking for more details. There is a little tab that holds the spoon down after pulling the pin until you fire the grenade. On some cup launchers the cup itself holds the spoon down until it is fired, so you pull the pin and shove the grenade into the cup without letting the spoon fly off.
@@asteamedpanda Ah, that explains it. Though having a grenade that close to me without a safety pin is a bit unnerving. But it works so mad respect to the soldier arming a launcher. Thanks for the info, that pretty much explains it. I will check out that channel. Appreciate the lesson. I have learned something new. 🙂
Rondo I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
@@flat-earther In my brief research this appears to be a con of some sort. A lot of negative publicity surrounds this mysterious person. Perhaps another Scientology in the making?
@@rondohunter8966 I share the series because in my opinion it's one of the best I have seen to serve as an introduction to the globe versus flat topic. I don't know what Scientology is. If you don't want to watch it there is _NASA fanboy questions_ which is a series with very short parts. It does not cover flat earth but questions the globe.
I love how he says grenade as a singular
i really love learning about grenade
Would a ceramic jar full of killer bees be considered a grenade?
