The U.S. Army Is Designing a New Hand Grenade


Saw two articles talking about this:

Looks like one of those interesting ideas that will probably never be finished IMO, thoughts?

Ahh is this the smaller lighter nade iv heard about ??, seems interesting, cannot see any other use than for SF groups and INF.

Haven't heard about this, by the sounds of it this is a select fire grenade, either fragmentation or concussion

Not to be confused with 'less than lethal' concussion grenades.

Frags don't work all that well in confined spaces that have obstacles in them (such as a bunker). A burst of high pressure to liquify your guts and scramble your noggin is much more effective.
