Check out my other comment but I’m pretty sure it’s because of the confidence clip. There’s actually an extra step where you sweep your thumb across the spoon to allow the pin to be removed from the grenade. After that yeah you probably could pull it with your teeth… but if you fucked up and fumbled it you’d win the Darwin award.
Really the myth should be about cooking a grenade. Absolutely no way in fucking hell you’d ever trust that fuse to “actually” be 4 seconds. What if it’s short and actually 3? And you wait to 2 to throw? Nooo way lmao
I’m very confused on the grenade pin one.
If you held down the level (not sure what it’s called), wouldn’t the pin be fairly easy to remove? Why would that be harder than your teeth?
I’ve never seen a grenade in person.
Yes, you hold down the spoon and almost all of the tension gets removed from the pin, it’s made to be easily pulled with one finger by anybody.
If you’re holding the spoon, you can pull the pin.
For real. If it was that hard to pull then people would be dropping live grenades by accident even more than they currently are.
