[QUOTE="ratski, post: 4106081, member: 936"] I hope this is the right place to ask this, and before anyone gets too excited this is about a couple of scenes in the movie "The Dirty Dozen." In a couple of scenes in the movie, we see the stars of the movie tossing bunches of grenades into an area (the antenna mast and the air vents) without pulling the pins. And then a few moments later, they toss a grenade after pulling the pin and it supposedly causes something like a chain reaction and all of the grenades in the pile explode as well. Now, I'm not too familiar with grenades, but I thought that these were devices that, after a fuse was lit and burned, an explosive charge inside the outer casing went off throwing the fragments into an radius of several feet to yards. I wouldn't think that would set off an adjacent grenade to explode. Or if it did, it would act much like a live round tossed into a fire and pop the casing. So, am I right? Should I send this into "Hollywood Weapons" and see if they will try it? [/QUOTE]
