In water and mud, that's a grenade. A primer is struck when the handle goes. Maybe it was a foreign-made one?

That's not a real grenade.
I've thrown real grenades in military training before...
The impact is NOTHING like what the video shows.
Even 50m away, seperated by a solid concrete wall, you can still feel the ground shake. A real military-level hand grenade would have a lot more impact.
Also, if it were a real grenade, those men would be dead by now. A normal grenade's killing radius is 5m, 15m to incapacitate.
Now I've never been THAT close to a grenade going off, but that's either some dumb'd down grenade with modified less explosives, or some sort of other explosive.
As far as I know too, hand grenades dont give off a "fzzt" with a small puff of smoke when the pin is pulled... There's no outside sign of activation, other than the pin being pulled out and the fly-handle flying off.
Dumbass!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

I think it is a "real" grenade, but def not a US made grenade. They are probably getting them from some old Vietnam era stock pile.
almost as bad as in basic training, where one dumb ass throws the pin
