| South Korean Training Grenades |
| 2023-02-24 |
| [YouTube] You have to turn on the captioning as it's in korean but this is a very interesting look at their practice grenades. They are almost completely biodegradable and yet a close enough copy to be good practice before the throwing of live grenades. And unlike US grenade simulators, they aren't dangerous. You can let them go off in your hand and it won't hurt you. |

| #3 What they said was 3 to 4 throws with these before going to live grenades has greatly reduced training accidents. So they still have to throw live grenades. |

| #2 So no more fatalities from dropping one in the 'throw pit'? NOT realistic training. |

| #1 You can let them go off in your hand and it won't hurt you. Where's the fun in that? |
