@Garand Thumb, those 40mm rounds are something else.. I'm an Infantry soldier in the British army and in Afghanistan my friend was firing 40mm granades at an enemy firing point while our platoon commander was looking through optics to see his fall of shot... Suddenly, our platoon commander dropped the optic and became very animated.. He couldn't believe what he'd just seen, I think it was the first and only time I saw a officer high five a private soldier, which if you know anything about the British army, you'll know that is a big no no and never happens.. And when we asked what had got him so animated, he said that a Taliban insurgent had popped his head over the compound wall just a brief second after "Beef" ,my friend, had fired a 40mm and the round literally smacked this Taliban in the head and turned his head into pink mist before the Talib fell back out of view.. The strange thing I found was that even though it had pulverised his head, the round didn't detonate, it seemed that despite it flying far enough to arm, the head, wrapped in a turban, wrapped in flesh wasn't hard enough to detonate the HE.. Life is stranger than fiction I suppose.
There are a bunch of Marine and Army Sergeants right now realizing they are going to have to go back to their units and inform the troops NOT to use 40 mm launchers as their primary weapon.
Story time. My dad was EOD/UDT in Vietnam. He was ordered to a firebase to "help remove some UXO." When he arrived the UXO was a 40mm grenade that was lodged in the head of NVA. Turns out the guy was a high ranking officer and there had been a diplomatic request by NV to get the body back but the grenade had to be removed before he could be transported. My dad talked to his CO and expressed concerns about the grenade being armed and that it might detonate when he tried to remove it. His CO said shit happenes and "they asked for the body back but they didn't say how much had to be left. Do it the safest way possible." The field expedient solution became to build a sandbag wall around the body with a rifle barrel sandwiched in aimed at the 40mm grenade. 1 round later the grenade was "disarmed " and the officers remains were able to be shipped back North in a much smaller/ lighter package.

The blunt force trauma of this is horrifying. Imagine having something that size blow through your sternum and get stuck inside your chest cavity. I mean, you would be dead pretty much instantly, but for that split second or two the pain would be unimaginable
Four ruffians break into my house “what the devil?” As i grab my standard issue helmet and m32 rotary grenade launcher.

I’m an Eskimo, laughed my ass off man. Love this video. Also, 40mm can go very far and lotta yards. I mean the momentum is enough to go through a body easy.
In CLS class, they used to show a video of an Iraqi that took a 40mm to the chest. It lodged in his lung cavity but he was saved. Biggest sucking chest wound I've ever seen
It's all about trajectory, terminal ballistics and round consistency. There's several instances of less-than-lethal rounds causing serious injuries. The local PD has a "zero tolerance" policy for head shots, not there are riots here but they've received painful (as in powerpoint) annual training over it. For me, I was trying to put a chalk round through "the window" at the 203 range and just missed it, but the round bounced off the wall and hit the ground fairly intact. The Sgt running the range said the outer casings weren't always consistent and storage was an issue as well. That's why A-hole that freeze paintballs should be castrated.
Explosives are a much more tricky subject to address than firearms. Firearms are pretty controllable by the average user, and it's an open and shut case to give them to all citizens, automatic or not, but even trained users can be seriously injured or killed by accidental explosive detonation. And not just them. Anyone in that radius will be seriously harmed. Plus possible property damage. Are we sure we really want the retards running around these days to be able to use explosives freely? I don't know the answer. There's problems with either path. Just something to think about.
@@wavydave Nah, not really equivalent. Those are small explosives that are made to spec and are (basically) only available for one month out of the year. I'm talking about real military grade C4, grenades, shoulder-launched missiles, mortar rounds, and etc. And besides, people still have tons of accidents with fireworks anyway. Ask the ER at your local hospital. Or hey, how about nuclear weapons? An extreme example, yes, but before you dismiss that, remember that the hardest part of building a nuclear weapon is merely getting the right material.
Everyone should have a klepto-Marine that follows them around, stealing their grenades while they’re talking. Just like how everyone should have 40mm launchers and fun-switches.
@Standard User Name it’s not that it’s legal, it’s that nobody outright said it was stolen, so if anyone asks no one was told that it was stolen, to permanently borrow something without permission is theft.
“It completely destroyed the arming mechanism” *Proceeds to take it and tap the tip on wood to verify it will not explode* Sounds like a Marine to me lmao
In Vietnam I heard a story of a team that had gotten into a tense situation. In times like that you might get into the throwing rocks phase, after you've gone through all your ammo. After the action was over folks going through the area found one enemy, dead, spread eagle on his back. With a 40mm smoke grenade stuck in his forehead.
@@leolaforest8055 An indicator of this event was that when found, the grenade was in his forehead. M-79 grenades don't arm for a certain distance from the muzzle. (I could be mis-remembering but I think it was 23 feet or spins) The design is so hitting something close to the gunner wouldn't detonate. I'm assuming this would apply to any of the "detonating" projectiles. So, if the smoke grenade had detonated, the guy's head would be a real mess. And the grenade virtually gone. But if it hadn't detonated, the evidence would be an intact, unexploded grenade in his forehead. So, the grenade was fired CLOSE combat range. I had once been hit by an M-79 fragment when the point man fired and the projectile must have hit something at just that arming range. No serious damage to me. So hats off to the designers.
A friend of mine was a legend in his Regiment, the Argyll and Southern Highlanders- amongst his other exploits he dropped a grenade from his SA80 UGL into a group of 5 Talibs who were unwisely advancing too close together.
That look on his face… 100% you’re right. I noticed the edit but hadn’t paid attention to mojo until the rewatch. I would say “typical marine” but I feel like so many of us would do it. We seriously need a blooper reel showing some of these moments.
Its looks like in Call Of Duty couple of times you shoot them with clothes and places where a body armor was present. Lets do this simulation once again with clothes on the dummies and an other test with body armor on. I am curious what will be the results. :D
My dad got shot in the back and Vietnam with the 40 mm grenade launcher when the guy holding the grenade launcher accidentally slipped and the only thing that saved him was all of his medical books and medical equipment in his bag and it he got knocked to the ground and he thought somebody kicked him but when he found out he got shot with a grenade launcher he flipped out chucked his bag as far as possible and then after that point they made the guys holding the grenade launchers walk in front of the medics
Actually saw this in action in Iraq, a MK19 hit an insurgent right at the edge of arming range. The round must have spun within him because when it knocked him over ......it exploded when he was laying flat on the ground.
Garand Thumb: "Mojo, do you have any experience with the M16" Mojo: "I have a lot of experience with the M16" Garand Thumb: "From where" Mojo: "Afghanistan" Garand Thumb: "Wonderful"
I love how Mojo just cackled like a mad lad when he loaded that chalk round. You can take a Marine out of the Corps but you never get the violence out.
Thank you for the great content on your channel. I am a ex-military (UK Army) I have served with a fair few US units during my time in the Army. I really enjoyed serving with your country. I was lucky enough to get to use US rifles while serving. I rocked a M4 and short 10.3 inch barrel AR15 platform. Keep up the great work 😀😀😀😀
I carried a 203 for about 10 years straight. Loved it! But if I remember correctly: HEDP = Traveled 15m before arming, and HE = Traveled 5m before arming. I alway preferred HE over HEDP, because it armed faster, and did more damage when it hit. Too many times HEDP had a tendency not to go off, especially in a urban environment due to the close ranges and especially after going through a window. I always carried HE over HEDP because of this, and I was always happy with the results. As for the M320, not a fan, and refused it when we got it and kept my 203. A lot us did and I think the 320 was another waste of money that we really never needed, wanted or asked for. Just like a bunch of the crap we purchased the last 20 years was.
My favourite thing about the 320 is that it was literally designed so it didn't have to be mounted to the m4. Guess who is still forced to keep it mounted......
What's the nomenclature for regular HE? I didn't think it was very common anymore. I didn't like the m320 at first until I used it a bunch. It's main benefit is that it was designed to be standalone. Main drawback is that the sights aren't designed for standalone and break easily
The Marines used to use their MK19's on the rear vehicles for escalation of force for vehicles that would get within 20m of those vehicles. They would dump three to four 40mm HE rounds into the engine block. Those are traveling nearer to 950fps. It would stop the cars without detonating. In the mind of a Marine, this was prudent and caused no casualties. On the other hand, it left UXO's in play. From that point on, an O-6 or higher would have to clear fires on MK-19's without ROE being met. I could think of some better ways to employ a brigade commander. I can't think of a better way to stop a vehicle and teach a lesson while limiting loss of life.
How silly. Yeah Mk19s are used for de-escalation and Colonels give a flying f*ck on your individual use of force. Excuse me while I take some Motrin for the broken ankle I got during the last pathfinder adventure...! I’m sorry, how do we express sarcasm here?

Shut up and take my money
(Frantically waving my hand, like Mojo, with money in it) Where do I order such a shirt from?
yes! for sure!
Mojo's enthusiasm is infectious, he's a legend
his first reaction to just taste everything they shoot always makes me laugh
I love how at 2:30 Mojo hears “ the m203 is a rifled grenade launcher “ and immediately has to check. Just a “ wait it is?” Moment

In a scene in Generation Kill, a smoke shell hit the man's head and died.
In the actual event the guy lived
In CLS class, they used to show a video of an Iraqi that took a 40mm to the chest. It lodged in his lung cavity but he was saved. Biggest sucking chest wound I've ever seen
@@arcblooper2699 Actually, if you look at the wording, he technically said the smoke shell died.
It's all about trajectory, terminal ballistics and round consistency. There's several instances of less-than-lethal rounds causing serious injuries. The local PD has a "zero tolerance" policy for head shots, not there are riots here but they've received painful (as in powerpoint) annual training over it.
For me, I was trying to put a chalk round through "the window" at the 203 range and just missed it, but the round bounced off the wall and hit the ground fairly intact. The Sgt running the range said the outer casings weren't always consistent and storage was an issue as well. That's why A-hole that freeze paintballs should be castrated.
@@ChevTecGroup they never showed me that in cls 😢
“Your forefathers WANTED you to have a grenade launcher” Now that’s a T-shirt/moral patch!
Our forefathers had grenades. They gave us the right to keep and bear them. We gave up that right without a fight.
Sadly true.
Explosives are a much more tricky subject to address than firearms. Firearms are pretty controllable by the average user, and it's an open and shut case to give them to all citizens, automatic or not, but even trained users can be seriously injured or killed by accidental explosive detonation. And not just them. Anyone in that radius will be seriously harmed. Plus possible property damage. Are we sure we really want the retards running around these days to be able to use explosives freely?
I don't know the answer. There's problems with either path. Just something to think about.
@@arnox4554 For the answer to your question just watch any video, of any July 4th since people started recording anything/everything.
@@wavydave Nah, not really equivalent. Those are small explosives that are made to spec and are (basically) only available for one month out of the year. I'm talking about real military grade C4, grenades, shoulder-launched missiles, mortar rounds, and etc. And besides, people still have tons of accidents with fireworks anyway. Ask the ER at your local hospital.
Or hey, how about nuclear weapons? An extreme example, yes, but before you dismiss that, remember that the hardest part of building a nuclear weapon is merely getting the right material.
We definitely need more of Mojo on your channel.

From the time the camera panned to him I loved him
Also Mojo tearing into the dummy is a great example of why Marines can't have medics and need Corpsmen to save them
Note to self: don't get direct impacted at point blank with a grenade launcher
Everyone should have a klepto-Marine that follows them around, stealing their grenades while they’re talking. Just like how everyone should have 40mm launchers and fun-switches.
And then have police to chase them around with Batons and Yackety Sax playing in the background for stealing.
It's not called stealing in the Marines. It is acquisitions, reappropriations, or permanently borrowing.
@Standard User Name actually it's synonym, but same difference. "Stealing" results in punishment, the synonyms are plausible deniability.
@Standard User Name it’s not that it’s legal, it’s that nobody outright said it was stolen, so if anyone asks no one was told that it was stolen, to permanently borrow something without permission is theft.
“It completely destroyed the arming mechanism”
*Proceeds to take it and tap the tip on wood to verify it will not explode*

Lol yeah I cringed when he did that. Freaked me out.
Yeah that was not very safe
It was inert, so it had no explosive in it. There was no risk of explosion
@@foolfromhyrool5191 STILL RISKY BUT I UNDERSTAND AND I AM NOT YELLING I LIKE HOW THE LETTER'S LOOK IN ALL CAP'S
In Vietnam I heard a story of a team that had gotten into a tense situation. In times like that you might get into the throwing rocks phase, after you've gone through all your ammo. After the action was over folks going through the area found one enemy, dead, spread eagle on his back. With a 40mm smoke grenade stuck in his forehead.
So he got smoked?
@@leolaforest8055 An indicator of this event was that when found, the grenade was in his forehead. M-79 grenades don't arm for a certain distance from the muzzle. (I could be mis-remembering but I think it was 23 feet or spins) The design is so hitting something close to the gunner wouldn't detonate. I'm assuming this would apply to any of the "detonating" projectiles. So, if the smoke grenade had detonated, the guy's head would be a real mess. And the grenade virtually gone. But if it hadn't detonated, the evidence would be an intact, unexploded grenade in his forehead. So, the grenade was fired CLOSE combat range.
I had once been hit by an M-79 fragment when the point man fired and the projectile must have hit something at just that arming range. No serious damage to me. So hats off to the designers.
@@CandC68 Thank you for the insight. I appreciate you for telling me about this.
@@leolaforest8055 Per wiki
" it armed itself after traveling a distance of about 14-27 meters"

A friend of mine was a legend in his Regiment, the Argyll and Southern Highlanders- amongst his other exploits he dropped a grenade from his SA80 UGL into a group of 5 Talibs who were unwisely advancing too close together.

2:30… mojo is curious about this rifled grenade barrel… video then cuts out… mojo looked down the barrel and they had to edit it out. So good
ahaha you're probably right
Saw the same thing. 😂
I noticed that too lmao
That look on his face… 100% you’re right. I noticed the edit but hadn’t paid attention to mojo until the rewatch. I would say “typical marine” but I feel like so many of us would do it.
We seriously need a blooper reel showing some of these moments.
Its looks like in Call Of Duty couple of times you shoot them with clothes and places where a body armor was present. Lets do this simulation once again with clothes on the dummies and an other test with body armor on. I am curious what will be the results. :D
I would also like to see that
Clothes would do nothing against it. Not even 200mm concrete can stop 40MM

Mojo has to be my favorite guest you have worked with. The man is a damn lunatic, I’m still tripping out over that Sig mag working in the Glock
My dad got shot in the back and Vietnam with the 40 mm grenade launcher when the guy holding the grenade launcher accidentally slipped and the only thing that saved him was all of his medical books and medical equipment in his bag and it he got knocked to the ground and he thought somebody kicked him but when he found out he got shot with a grenade launcher he flipped out chucked his bag as far as possible and then after that point they made the guys holding the grenade launchers walk in front of the medics
Lmfao dude thats freaking gnarly 😂😂 lucky for your pa though 🙏🏼 Godbless.
@@arttheclown9458 No I'm more lucky because if he died I wouldn't be here to tell this

Actually saw this in action in Iraq, a MK19 hit an insurgent right at the edge of arming range. The round must have spun within him because when it knocked him over ......it exploded when he was laying flat on the ground.

Thank you for the great content on your channel. I am a ex-military (UK Army) I have served with a fair few US units during my time in the Army. I really enjoyed serving with your country. I was lucky enough to get to use US rifles while serving. I rocked a M4 and short 10.3 inch barrel AR15 platform. Keep up the great work 😀😀😀😀
I carried a 203 for about 10 years straight. Loved it! But if I remember correctly: HEDP = Traveled 15m before arming, and HE = Traveled 5m before arming. I alway preferred HE over HEDP, because it armed faster, and did more damage when it hit. Too many times HEDP had a tendency not to go off, especially in a urban environment due to the close ranges and especially after going through a window. I always carried HE over HEDP because of this, and I was always happy with the results. As for the M320, not a fan, and refused it when we got it and kept my 203. A lot us did and I think the 320 was another waste of money that we really never needed, wanted or asked for. Just like a bunch of the crap we purchased the last 20 years was.
That's what I was thinking. Had to follow the rifling for a certain number of rotations before hitting the primer
My favourite thing about the 320 is that it was literally designed so it didn't have to be mounted to the m4. Guess who is still forced to keep it mounted......
independent launchers are neat..
@@discreet4750 your command is trash...
What's the nomenclature for regular HE? I didn't think it was very common anymore. I didn't like the m320 at first until I used it a bunch. It's main benefit is that it was designed to be standalone. Main drawback is that the sights aren't designed for standalone and break easily

The Marines used to use their MK19's on the rear vehicles for escalation of force for vehicles that would get within 20m of those vehicles. They would dump three to four 40mm HE rounds into the engine block. Those are traveling nearer to 950fps. It would stop the cars without detonating. In the mind of a Marine, this was prudent and caused no casualties. On the other hand, it left UXO's in play. From that point on, an O-6 or higher would have to clear fires on MK-19's without ROE being met. I could think of some better ways to employ a brigade commander. I can't think of a better way to stop a vehicle and teach a lesson while limiting loss of life.
Genuinely surprised the Corps doesn't issue less lethal 40mm wax rounds.
You know, like giant flying crayons...
How silly. Yeah Mk19s are used for de-escalation and Colonels give a flying f*ck on your individual use of force. Excuse me while I take some Motrin for the broken ankle I got during the last pathfinder adventure...! I’m sorry, how do we express sarcasm here?
