all you have to really understand is this... When the Pin is pulled Mr. Grenade is not your friend.

I loved the M67 grenade during my service. Though they were heavy and bulky, I carried 4 of them. They're priceless for clearing out bad guys behind obstacles and for when you don't know exactly where he is. People scoff at them and similar grenades when dropped from drones because the target usually runs away, but they don't realize how dense and destructive the fragments are. A fragment the size of a BB going almost 10X faster than a bullet will bleed you out in a few minutes, though you can run just fine.

One error in the narrative: the spring clip that you see about 1/2 inch from the top of the grenade does NOT prevent the pin from being pulled. It is entirely possible to pull the pin and throw the grenade without removing this 'safety' clip. If that happens and the clip is not dislodged when the grenade hits the ground, the grenade won't go off. A fun fact about the M67 is that it was weighted and sized to be as close to a baseball as possible.

I remember the sergeant telling us that the M67 was designed to be the size, weight, and circumference of a baseball (hence the nickname "baseball" grenade) because every American boy knew how to through a baseball with accuracy and distance. Now all we need to do is start shipping baseballs to Ukraine.

In grenade training you NEVER go down until you see where it has landed in case of a misfire. I was running a range once and we had one, it was a lonely walk checking the area lol.

that number...43 million M67 grenades. That's just insane.

Remember once the pin is pulled Mr. Grenade is not your friend.

In 30 years, a reenactment group is going to be really grateful for this channel's attention to detail.

Thanks for another detailed and well documented video. I have to think these are useful and essential weapons given the number of trench clearing videos have been posted lately.

very cool footage as always

Unfortunately not many smoke grenades seem to be in use. Much of the front does not have med evac vehicles readily available, one recent (very sickening) POV video shows a Ukrainian losing his life while trying to retrieve a comrade, the lack of training and equipment demonstrated in the video was heart breaking.

I wish I could find an empty/inert example with these modern markings, very cool!

That’s my keychain for many years right there. Also combat jacket zipper. 🙂

The humble hand grenade is one of those things that doesn't grab headlines, but is just as essential to a soldier as a rifle and bullets. Good to see US + NATO is keeping them well stocked.

Get them some holy hand grenade of Antioch !

Given they have a unity cost of around $50 its not surprising that its easy to supply them at a real scale

I am old enough to have trained on the Mk2 and the Mk26 then later was issued M33s. They all worked equally well IME.

I wanted to see the result of that G vs Ayyylmaos test, but it looks like Big Caliber Trouble has been disappeared. The only external search results that reference it are this video. Now I may never know its suitability for anti-incursion defense.

The M67 can send shrapnel farther than they teach us. I caught a sharp piece in my boot while training in the next range over from a grenade course once. Quite a bit outside that supposed 50m max radius

Old retired Army Grunt and I fought in two wars in my 26 years on Active Duty as a Senior NCO. Like most fellow Infantry NCO’s, we carried as many grenades, extra ammo and smoke grenades as possible and the M-67’s worked great as they had a good amount of explosive to do more damage than common soviet type grenades we faced. Grenades work great inside concrete buildings as the shock wave stuns those it doesn’t kill which is why we enter the room as quickly as safely possible to take advantage of the time while the enemy is stunned. There’s a lot of field expedient AP mines a soldier can make with hand grenades as a booby trap type device.

You can tell the Canadian versions of the M67 by the small "Sorry" stenciled on it under the "High Explosive, Fragmentation".

Just bought one, can't wait to use

7:40 is some of the best footage I’ve seen of a fragmentation grenade in action. There’s nowhere to hide in a small room.

In the recent videos uploaded by Civ Div (the ones with the BMP-2 being neutralized), as the guys are throwing a grenade into the top hatch of the vehicle one of the dudes asks "Was that an M67?" I figure he recognized the blast.

"Remember boys and girls... once you pull the pin on Mr. Hand Grenade _he is no longer your friend_ ." - USMC Drill Instructor - Camp Pendleton 1978

Practical tool for practical basement or seller clearance.

Canadian grenades are C-13’s and the CA in the lot is from Canadian Arsenal (general dynamics)

Interesting Video.

I took a short course on these and threw a live one when I was in the Canadian Navy, oddly enough.

Just reminded me to finish my task with prapor need 9 more M67's lol

It may interest you to know that, based on the list of locations of the Day & Zimmermann corporation as per their website, all M67 grenades, whether produced under either US or Canadian contract, are made in USA. There is no Canadian production facility. The images in your video make me wonder if the green body color of the grenades is a different shade for the Canadian contract grenades, as compared to US contract grenades.

im looking for the Big calibre trouble video but i cant find it.. care to link video???

A kid blew himself up at the range just after i had finished my throw. ducked as he threw and bounced off the wall Infront of him. he and the instructor survived but that was the end of service for them both.

Canada is now using C3 grenades as far as I know, we were having issues with the M67 fuses.

The M67's weight is an eye opener at 14 oz. The older lemon grenades weighed 16 oz and the older still pineapples the Army was phasing out in the early 1960s weighed a hefty 21 oz. I have no experience with so-called offensive grenades.

5:45 When you're throwing a grenade NEVER stop to watch where it falls, it's too late, it's going where you threw it regardless, you immediately take cover.

Canadian grenade is the C13. Canadian variant of the M67.

Ship it all to Ukraine. All the older stuff. Better to use on Russians than have it sit until expiration date. We throw away massive amounts of old kit.

I was thinking this would be a good way to use up old stock …. Then I saw the crate with a lot from 2021. Very new.

I recall seeing photos of army of the Republic of South Vietnam (arvn) soldier in the early 70s with a M1, M33 and m67 grenade on his belt and will be interesting to see if the ukrainian soldiers do the same but with Eastern and NATO grenades.

I saw something about these grenades, they supposedly have a second hole for a pin, that acts as a hammer block. So you can pull the main pin, release the spoon, the rest the hammer and replace the main pin. Then the grenade can be used to set up a tripwire mine.

While the grenades we use in Canada are M67 variants, we designate them as the C13 or C13A1 fragmentation grenade. Neat to see our contribution to the Ukrainians in action.

I cant find the channels you have mentioned (boy from the Forest and the otherone dont show up on youtube or google for me)

bit different from my Australian grenade training in early 70s .had to stand and watch where grenade landed then duck. harder to than you'd think.

5:35 training flaw. If the instructed person does not duck for cover the instructor does not order - he pulls the person into seafety. Saying "go down" after the granade is armed and thrown is wayyyyy to late, is a serious error. Luckly the soldier did duck.

I’m honestly surprised that we didn’t get a video on M67 grenades showing up in Ukraine earlier given how many much footage there has already been of these nades to begin with after nearly a year into this war

Dumb question but if you were to duct tape more bbs around the grenade the shrapnel would be better ? They really don’t look like they have much shrapnel

I think hand grenades and mines are the most often overlooked weapons in this conflict

7:43 reminds me of a certain video from this conflict...

I prefer the Hollywood grenade. It lands in a river and still wipes out an entire VC encampment.

Enjoy the baseballs boys. Let them serve you well.

I remember getting a bad batch of these during osut, our range was put on hold for one that did not detonate. Waited hours for eod to show up to blow it. We restarted, just to have another failure. Drill said “fuck it” and just made us run all the way back to the barracks. Fuck you, grenade.

Thank you for the video. I’ve been wondering about their supply of grenades as I saw a few videos a couple months back where one soldier turns to another and asks “Do you have any more grenades?”, and they did not. Not a good situation. That and with the rise of drones I imagine that a plethora of cheap reliable area weapons is in great demand.

We used the M26 never got to chuck a m67

'M67s.... I love M67s'

How do you remove the safety clip from the M67?

VIDEO, INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE ,THIS HAS BEEN, 1 EACH

I believe you mean the C13

I killed a man with an M67 fragmentation grenade when he was pinned down and trapped in a rubbled building. I was awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Achevement Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device (NAM). I can attest that the grenade is an essential part of an infantryman’s load out. I used to carry 4 on me as part of my standard combat load. In combat there were multiple occasions when I used all four fragmentation grenades but very rarely would I use all 7 rifle magazines.

Wow 😳

Safe & Sane firework?

Cuántas granadas lleva cada soldado? Todos llevan?

6:08 mans got an aimpoint, I wish every Ukrainian soldier had one of them

"Pocket Mortar"

House clearing in Afghan, tape a smoke grenade (red) to a frag, pull pin on frag, throw into building....frag blows and ruptures the smoke....bang and a burn....

I can't find the Ukrainian or Russian grenade demo videos you included. Was anyone else able to?

Glad to see our gifts of the battlefield. Stay strong 💪 🇺🇦 Ukraine, victory will come in 2023.

Where are they made?

“…that is one Unpleasant device…”

Imo 🍍 grenades had better fragmentation more deadly but I'm sure was more expensive and couldn't be thrown as far The fact they are spherical was said because it saved money time in training because the thinking was every American has played or thrown a baseball, but the explosive powder in it is a lot stornger then the pineapple grenade so the frags probobly due fly farther just in smaller chunks Who knows I'm no scientist tho

Composition B. Yeah.

my DS always said that's the most fun you can have for 9$ 🤣🤣... they probably cost more now, lol

Wow

Such nice packaging. Just like an iphone.

yeah they don't go off all the time

Why case so slippery

Sleeping on the grenade range waiting for EOD to show up and take care of one of the what turned out to be like six duds that day. It was a long one.

1:53 what rifles did America sent?

7:53 please can anyone send me the link of *the boys from the forest* Ukranian channel

Thumb clip Pull pin! Throw!!

Shipped with fuse already in???? Very un-British. Our L2s had to have the fuse screwed in first.

Nice to see that we are protecting the environment with bio degradable packaging for the deadly war materiel these days. What is interesting is the AK74su with the Aimpont on a side mount. Some of the irregulars must be ordering this kit online or crowd funding it.

Good we are supplying the Ukrainians with these weapons so they can defend themselves from the orc invaders and to hopefully push them completely out of Ukraine territory. We should be sending them the older lots since they are burning through them at a fast pace, and we need to restock our stocks with new lots since we too will need them before long.

Good. The M67 is much more powerful and deadly than the Russian counterparts. I've thrown quite a few of both NATO and Warsaw pact grenades in test ranges, and there is no doubt the M67 is deadlier.

The Canadian grenades are stamped CA. The COMP B ones are American.

thank you from Ukraine for all your American support

Cool channel 👍 Cheers 😎

"m67s mmmm i love m67s"

Greetings from Ukraine

Figures the M67 now has a additional safety for the pull ring, the pull ring and safety clip were enough. Now you have to fumble around and release the pull ring retainer before popping clip and pulling pin, guess it make’s current soldiers feel safer, just one more thing to worry about when deploying it. I didn’t notice it on Canadian ones though.

Just my personal opinion here: The M67 has a long fuse delay (5 sec.) to make it safer to handle by the average infantryman... but it also makes it less effective on the battlefield because of that. Let's assume the flight time of the released grenade is 2 seconds. This gives 3 seconds for the enemy troops to react to the sight of the grenade landing into their position. This may sound like a short time to react, but it is in fact ample time to escape most of the blast (if you are lucky and your position is ideal for that). Of course, you could go against your training and wait for 2 seconds until throwing the grenade. But you'd most likely end-up getting yourself (and some of your own) killed eventually. Best thing is to coordinate and throw more than one at a time at the same position so as to have the best chance of taking out enemy personnel. But that's often not very practical... and it's not how it's thought either. IMO, best to have the impact fuse variant (M68) when in combat. It has a 2 sec. safety before the impact fuse kicks in. Then it explodes on impact, allowing for no time to react. This makes the grenade much more effective when used one by one. When you are at the point when you need grenades, you are in such a dire situation than those seconds are possibly the difference between you or the enemy surviving. The M68 is not that much more expensive to produce, so I'd rather have a case of those at my disposal when things turn for the worse...

"grenade, hand, frag, delay" funny military english

Hope hundreds of thousands are sent, how many can be sent?

What is that piece of metal around the pull pin? I served as an infantryman in the USMC and have killed people with the M67. I know the grenade and I’ve never seen a fragmentation grenade with that piece of metal… in training (we would throw 1-3 real live grenades per year in training on average) or from the huge lots (mountains) of frags we were issued in combat.

Canada makes m67's?

For reference: the Canadian M67 is called the C13

US grenades are about the size of a baseball. Coincidence?

wheres all the MLB players teaching these soldiers how to throw?

Is is possible to sabotage the russian production of conventional military grade explosives like TNT etc?
