    @Garand Thumb, those 40mm rounds are something else.. I'm an Infantry soldier in the British army and in Afghanistan my friend was firing 40mm granades at an enemy firing point while our platoon commander was looking through optics to see his fall of shot... Suddenly, our platoon commander dropped the optic and became very animated.. He couldn't believe what he'd just seen, I think it was the first and only time I saw a officer high five a private soldier, which if you know anything about the British army, you'll know that is a big no no and never happens.. And when we asked what had got him so animated, he said that a Taliban insurgent had popped his head over the compound wall just a brief second after "Beef" ,my friend, had fired a 40mm and the round literally smacked this Taliban in the head and turned his head into pink mist before the Talib fell back out of view.. The strange thing I found was that even though it had pulverised his head, the round didn't detonate, it seemed that despite it flying far enough to arm, the head, wrapped in a turban, wrapped in flesh wasn't hard enough to detonate the HE.. Life is stranger than fiction I suppose.

    Story time. My dad was EOD/UDT in Vietnam. He was ordered to a firebase to "help remove some UXO." When he arrived the UXO was a 40mm grenade that was lodged in the head of NVA. Turns out the guy was a high ranking officer and there had been a diplomatic request by NV to get the body back but the grenade had to be removed before he could be transported. My dad talked to his CO and expressed concerns about the grenade being armed and that it might detonate when he tried to remove it. His CO said shit happenes and "they asked for the body back but they didn't say how much had to be left. Do it the safest way possible." The field expedient solution became to build a sandbag wall around the body with a rifle barrel sandwiched in aimed at the 40mm grenade. 1 round later the grenade was "disarmed " and the officers remains were able to be shipped back North in a much smaller/ lighter package.

      It's all about trajectory, terminal ballistics and round consistency. There's several instances of less-than-lethal rounds causing serious injuries. The local PD has a "zero tolerance" policy for head shots, not there are riots here but they've received painful (as in powerpoint) annual training over it.
      For me, I was trying to put a chalk round through "the window" at the 203 range and just missed it, but the round bounced off the wall and hit the ground fairly intact. The Sgt running the range said the outer casings weren't always consistent and storage was an issue as well. That's why A-hole that freeze paintballs should be castrated.

      @@leolaforest8055 An indicator of this event was that when found, the grenade was in his forehead. M-79 grenades don't arm for a certain distance from the muzzle. (I could be mis-remembering but I think it was 23 feet or spins) The design is so hitting something close to the gunner wouldn't detonate. I'm assuming this would apply to any of the "detonating" projectiles. So, if the smoke grenade had detonated, the guy's head would be a real mess. And the grenade virtually gone. But if it hadn't detonated, the evidence would be an intact, unexploded grenade in his forehead. So, the grenade was fired CLOSE combat range.
      I had once been hit by an M-79 fragment when the point man fired and the projectile must have hit something at just that arming range. No serious damage to me. So hats off to the designers.

      Explosives are a much more tricky subject to address than firearms. Firearms are pretty controllable by the average user, and it's an open and shut case to give them to all citizens, automatic or not, but even trained users can be seriously injured or killed by accidental explosive detonation. And not just them. Anyone in that radius will be seriously harmed. Plus possible property damage. Are we sure we really want the retards running around these days to be able to use explosives freely?

      @@wavydave Nah, not really equivalent. Those are small explosives that are made to spec and are (basically) only available for one month out of the year. I'm talking about real military grade C4, grenades, shoulder-launched missiles, mortar rounds, and etc. And besides, people still have tons of accidents with fireworks anyway. Ask the ER at your local hospital.
      Or hey, how about nuclear weapons? An extreme example, yes, but before you dismiss that, remember that the hardest part of building a nuclear weapon is merely getting the right material.

    Everyone should have a klepto-Marine that follows them around, stealing their grenades while they’re talking. Just like how everyone should have 40mm launchers and fun-switches.

      And then have police to chase them around with Batons and Yackety Sax playing in the background for stealing.

      It's not called stealing in the Marines. It is acquisitions, reappropriations, or permanently borrowing.

      @Standard User Name actually it's synonym, but same difference. "Stealing" results in punishment, the synonyms are plausible deniability.

      @Standard User Name it’s not that it’s legal, it’s that nobody outright said it was stolen, so if anyone asks no one was told that it was stolen, to permanently borrow something without permission is theft.

    My dad got shot in the back and Vietnam with the 40 mm grenade launcher when the guy holding the grenade launcher accidentally slipped and the only thing that saved him was all of his medical books and medical equipment in his bag and it he got knocked to the ground and he thought somebody kicked him but when he found out he got shot with a grenade launcher he flipped out chucked his bag as far as possible and then after that point they made the guys holding the grenade launchers walk in front of the medics
