New multipurpose enhanced handgrenade
 
Engineers at Picatinny Arsenal are working on the first new lethal hand grenade in more than 40 years which is designed to give greater flexibility to the warfighter.

Wait until a night opn goes bad because someone set the grenade to the wrong setting and friendly's get hurt and or killed.

Remember the impact detonated version of the M-67? Yeah, that bright idea didn't last too long either.

We already cannot afford soldiers and ammunition. I would like to see how much this techno toy is going to cost us.

That was my thought as I read the article, keyed up Joe sets the wrong setting as they bust in to a room thinking they are going to bang it.....bad juju for the good guys!

Advances in modern technology will now allow our future soldiers to throw this grenade from either hand. Evidently these brainiacs have never heard of making the M 67 ambidex simply by holding it fuze down??? What do these people get paid again?

Being left handed I never had a problem tossing a M-67. Guess I was to dumb to know I had a right handed grenade. Want to improve range? Add a lavaer aka stick like the Germans did in WWI over 100 years ago.
You do not need some stick to get range. Ever seen one flung from a wrist rocket. They really fly. We could fling them so they air burst:eek: bet they can not find that in some manual:p

It's still hazardous to the people who have to assemble them.

But, does it have Bluetooth?

Probably, but at that time there were munitions made with much more hazardous materials. And there still are. ;)

Yes, it broadcasts a continuous "f-you f-you f-you f-you" to all BT devices within a 25m radius from ignition to detonation. :D
