Weren't grenades originally the same size and weight as baseballs so that people would be used to throwing them?
WWI German grenades had sticks, which increased range a lot at the expense of accuracy.
Americans, raised on baseball, were able to get the pineapple grenades into impossible holes, which made them a lot more effective than the German-style grenade.
Wasn’t the construction of the old “pineapple” also more effective at generating shrapnel when it went off, too?
Otherwise known as the modern atlatl.
What happens when the dog fetches it, though?
Have you considered a trebuchet?
Are we going to dwelve into trebuchet mems.
you could use a shephard's sling instead to keep your early ranged units viable
This would be so much fun to use.
I've always wondered why nobody is using those.
RPGs and grenade launchers are more accurate, safer, and have longer range.
Credible. The minimal range increase you get with this isn't really worth the loss of accuracy. You'll be more accurate throwing with your hands at short ranges, and if you need to place a precise explosion at a range higher than about 50m this thing isn't getting it done. Just pack M320s on your boys and it's as easy as point and click.
What exactly makes you think this hasn’t been done? The reason for this question is that your post implies you’ve seen everything.
Calm down bro. This is not Reddit
You must be flakey.
Incredible. We went from why people use dog leads with grenades as a genuine question to attacking people.
