In film and television dramas, we often see scenes where the characters throw back the grenades thrown by the enemy on the battlefield, which is tense and exciting, and makes people's hearts beat faster. But in real life,
Can a grenade thrown by the enemy really be picked up and thrown back?According to some veterans who have fought in battle, the answer is yes, but success depends on luck. In the battle of Toheong-ri, the U.S. troops hid in the ring fortifications to resist our attack
Our troops threw a large number of grenades at the fortifications, and the American troops, not to be outdone, threw the grenades back, and even threw the grenades back as tennis rackets with sapper shovels. The reason why the US military was able to do this,
Mainly because our army used a wooden-handled grenade at that time, and its fuse length and detonation time were relatively long, giving the US military enough time to react. This situation is not an isolated case, during World War II
There were American soldiers who used rifles to knock grenades back to the enemy. However, not all grenades can be thrown back, and now the mainstream oval grenades detonate in just a few seconds, making it too late to react. In the war,
Those who try to throw the grenade back are often either martyred or silent. Even a grenade with a wooden handle that has a long detonation time will be difficult to successfully throw back. Therefore, it is not common to successfully throw a grenade back to the enemy,
In the battle of Topingli, after the volunteer soldiers found out that the U.S. troops would throw back grenades, they began to delay the loss of mines, and as a result, many U.S. soldiers died when trying to throw back grenades.
