M-69 training to tossing live M-67 grenades (66 HQ Photos)

Posted: 31 Aug 2015 12:29 PM PDT

You've gotta do some training before playing with fire. The first section is from learning how to throw an M-69 practice grenades. The M69 grenade is used for grenade training to safely simulate the M67 grenade. The fuze screws into the body, and is replaceable after use. The simulator produces a report and small puff of white smoke when properly employed. The M69 has a blue-painted lever and a blue body. This is to indicate that it is a safe practice grenade rather than a live fragmentation grenade like the M33 or M67. Most of the photos are from the last iteration of the M-67 fragmentation grenade training classes. Then ya get to toss the real thing. The M67 is a further development of the M33 grenade, itself a replacement for the M26-series grenades used during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and the older Mk 2 "pineapple" grenade used since World War II. The M67 grenade has a spherical steel body that contains 6.5 oz (180 g) of composition B explosive. The M67 can be thrown 98 to 115 ft. by the average male soldier. It uses the M213 pyrotechnic delay fuze. The M67 grenade weighs 14 oz (400 g) in total and has a safety clip to prevent the safety pin on the grenade from being pulled accidentally. The safety pin prevents the safety lever, or "spoon" on the grenade from moving and releasing the spring-loaded striker which initiates the grenade's fuze. Its fuze delays detonation between 4 and 5 seconds after the spoon is released. Steel fragments (not to be confused with shrapnel) are provided by the grenade body and produce an injury radius of 49 ft., with a fatality radius of 16 ft., though some fragments can disperse as far out as 820 ft.

Why does it take this, for “the silent majority” to be heard (68 Photos)

Deputy Darren H. Goforth had gone to the Chevron gas station in Cypress, located northwest of Houston, after responding to a routine car accident earlier Friday…and then the sense-less act took place. A piece-of-sh*t approached Deputy Goforth from behind and killed him. The strong community of men and women from the great state of Texas came out to show their support and pay respects to fallen Deputy Goforth. More than 1,000 people returned to a Cypress, Texas, gas station Sunday night to honor Darren Goforth, the Harris County sheriff's deputy who was gunned down seemingly at random last week. Flowers, balloons and cards piled up at the pump where Goforth was shot Friday night as community members marched for a second time in the town near Houston. Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said, in reference to recent anti-Police protests:
