Supporters Ian_Gere Posted September 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 24, 2013 I don't believe that was a grenade. It went off so close to them that the shrapnel would have been impossible to avoid and seriously life threatening. It doesn't matter about the water - the flame is clearly visible coming up past the gunwales: basically the water between the explosive and the surface is vaporised instantly and would present no barrier to bits of metal at all. I also think that shrapnel would have done more damage to the boat. Maybe it was a distraction flash bang. Funny though and yeah, wtf was the point?

Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 24, 2013 That was an MSS; a marine sound signal. They're a really oldschool way of communicating with submarines through loud bangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to know the fatality rates among them, they don't seem all too "User Friendly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 24, 2013 Supporters Share Posted September 24, 2013 when used correctly I expect the fatality rate is 0, I've thrown loads of them, just not off a RHIB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
