How the fuck are grenades deadly?

All they do is released compressed air, at the most all they should do is push you back a bit.

Pretty much all wars are heavily fictionalized.

what was the purpose of this thread

They have shrapnel in them, little pieces of steel and flint, which scatter everywhere like knives. Sometimes the shrapnel is extremely sharp too, like purposefully sharpened.

>>715848057 (OP)
It's not the explosion that hurts you, it's the shrapnel that's flung out of it at 700 meters per second. Anything hitting you at that speed is going to do some serious damage, if it doesn't outright kill you.

If you really think about it, a bullet is just a chemical travelling at a velocity that is relatively slower than many things in the universe. Like who even cares?

>>715848057 (OP)
1: most anti-personnel grenades are FRAGMENTATION grenade. They release a large amount of shrapnel that tears though people at incredibly high speeds. A frag grenade can blow off an entire limb with a combination of explosive force and materiel.
2: high-explosive grenades release shockwaves that are powerful enough to collapse your lungs, gives you concussions, rupture other air-filled organs such as intestines and even cause blood vessels in your brain to burst. At close range, the combination of heat and force will simply rip your body to pieces.

tldr: the air moves so fast your body can't withstand it and instead of the air moving around your flesh, it simply goes through it. Sometimes there are also metal fragments in this air.

>play game
>game simulates fragmentation somewhat properly
>game freezes when the grenade blows up as it generates the hundreds to thousands of shrapnel flying
>see sparks all over the fucking place when the shrapnel collides with metallic objects
>was later changed to not be so computationally heavy (generic explosion with no shrapnel)
It's pretty cool but does not make for a fun experience if it's a multiplayer pvp game

Shut up nerds, I can tank that shit

>>715848057 (OP)
how are nuclear bombs so deadly? all they do is release a wave of pressure

Bitches don't know about my golfball nades.

>>715848183
>flint
lmao
But what else should I expect from someone dumb enough to pay for a 4chan pass?
>>715848439
>air moving around your flesh, it simply goes through it
You're in the right area area, but it's not about air moving as much as it's a huge pressure differential that shreds your internals because they are not fixed in place like they were nailed down but are capable of movement due to surrounding soft tissue.
Look up "blast overpressure"

>>715848057 (OP)
They're handheld devices containing shockwaves that bosses use in souls game
Very dangerous
Outlawed on most systems

>>715848057 (OP)
They startle you into a heart attack. They're like a party popper scaled up to military use.

>small enough for her pleasure
>will kill everything in a 5m area that's not behind cover
MOGGED

>>715849032
Nuclear bombs don't actually exist, retard. Stop falling for illuminati psyops.

>>715848183
meds

>>715849124
Yeah, I'm just trying to dumb it down to "why do grenades kill people" level. I guess I could have worded it as
>the air impacts your body so hard that it shoves everything inside around really hard or downright crushes it
Could also give the example of before the military started using MRAPs and dudes would get shaken up like a fuckin jar of marinara.

>how the fuck is a gun deadly? all it does is make a little piece of metal move forward

Assault grenades are not very deadly. They are made to stun the enemy. Defensive grenades are very deadly. They can kill you from 200m

>>715848057 (OP)
How the fuck is a flamethrower deadly? All it does is raise the temperature around you. At the most all they should do is make you get a little sweaty.

I think the real question is how are flashbangs so underrated?

>be enemy
>see a grenade flying towards you
>instinctively look at it
>it fucking explodes in a flash of light that blinds you for several minutes

It's so OP why doesn't the police use it more?

>>715849694
It spits sticky fuel and burns oxygen from your bunker

>>715849945
flashbangs are used all the time, they're just underused in video games because their IRL effect is so devastating you could never accurately represent it in a PvP game

>>715849945
IRL flashbangs mainly impair your hearing. It's hard to replicate in games

>>715848183
>Sometimes the shrapnel is extremely sharp too, like purposefully sharpened.
what did you mean by this
>>715849258
if nukes don't exist why was gadaffi taken out

>>715850121
>why was gadaffi taken out

>>715848081
>>715848161
This

>>715850174
oh

>>715849668
Cool. Which specific grenade has a 200m kill radius? Asking for a friend.
>>715850121
Because of DA JOOS.

>>715850474
Modern fragmentation grenades, such as the United States M67 grenade, have a wounding radius of 15 m (50 ft) – half that of older style grenades, which can still be encountered – and can be thrown about 40 m (130 ft). Fragments may travel more than 200 m (660 ft).[37]

nuh uh, they're too small, they'd bounce right off of me like pebbles

>>715851025
Yeah my skin is made of kevlar too

>>715848217
The explosion can absolutely harm you.
The pressure wave from the blast can inflict significant internal damage.

>>715849124
pressure wave is literally caused by the air moving
retard

This has thinking me thinking. If you had a jar that's strong enough. Could you place the grenade inside so that when it detonates with the lid closed. You can save the decompressed but compressed (inside the jar) explosion for later? Better yet, could you open the lid to direct the explosive force at someone?

Smoke grenades are fucking awesome, not a lot of games ever do them justice though. At least the realistic smoke physics in counter strike are pretty fucking neat.

>>715852823
they are sick as fuck when a game has thermal vision like h3vr

>>715848057 (OP)
huge amount of pressure that'll damage your organs

sprays out shrapnel everywhere that'll damage your organs

>>715848183
Even without that the concussive force generated could crush your organs

>>715848057 (OP)
Well, anon, that "compressed air" release is so violent that if you are near a exploding granade your body just deactivates.

>>715850110
>IRL flashbangs mainly impair your hearing. It's hard to replicate in games
nigga just have muffled audio last for more than 3 seconds

>>715853378
Impairing your hearing is much more than that

>>715852720
yeah, bugs bunny pulls that shit all the time

thermobaric grenades

>>715853458
then what else does it require? explain yourself instead of just saying “um you’re le wrong” and that’s it

>>715848057 (OP)
>All they do is released compressed air
Sir, you're retarded

>>715853861
Distorting your orientation

>>715853960
So it makes you gay? How is that relevant in a warzone?

>>715849945
Cops do use them, they just don't use them enough to warrant carrying them around all the time. Cops already have to carry enough shit on their duty belts and vests already and in their patrol cars as is

>>715854069
>playing Counter Strike
>gets flashed banged
>suddenly get the urge to run down to the nearest gay bar and suck some dicks

>>715854069
This is why I never bother to answer seriously

>>715854069
DADT

>>715854417
that was some random anon
>Distorting your orientation
you can make it so it fucks a bit with your controls or movement or just fucks with your screen other than the white flash of light

Basically the blast of air causes a pressure differential, all the air is blasted away from you creating a low pressure zone compared to the high pressure zone of air inside your body.
The air inside you wants to equalise with the pressure outside. This leads to a massive fart that destroys your bowel and slices you in half.

>>715853601
kek

>>715854737
It's hard to replicate because you don't feel the nausea and impaired thought process by computer

>>715850739
Yeah, MAY
That's not a kill radious, retard. It's a "you might get nicked between in a radius between 15 and 200 meters.
>>715852043
The air doesn't move THROUGH a body retard. The pressure wave does.
