We had a guy lob one just over the sandbags. And also not me.

Saw something similar in basic.

We were watching from behind a wall with periscopes..

The guy...Pvt. Sliwiski...  got an ok throw close enough to the target, but  he stayed up to look at it go off and the instructor needed to flatten him.

Sliwiski was also the guy who managed to have his bayonet dummy get him in the throat.  Was standing next to our company commander and watched him just shake his head about it...

We got to shoot .22 lr in basic....but then, when you're in the business of blowing crap up at distance, the hand grenade was just poor form!

Back in the day, a Battleship could throw a Volkswagen at you from 20 miles!  Today, a Tomahawk does quite nicely at 2000!

Anyone who spent time on a military rifle range should know....at least around the time I was there....maybe be different now.

Can only guess at who Maggie was, but you could see her drawers from over 300yds......even if they were only figurative at that time.
