The Army recently conducted a test on a new grenade that will allow troops to connect up to three sections for a bigger bang. What do you all think especially the Active/Reserve/Guard think

With the improvements to high explosives this sounds like a great replacement for banglore torpedo's type devices.

I watched a few new soldiers either not throw the grenade far enough or I watched them throw the pin and drop the grenade. I don’t think a bigger bang is needed.

Sounds cool, but a little scary... I'm thinking back to basic when a few soldiers had a difficult time getting the device out far enough...

In basic, there was a Sargent beside you when throwing a grenade. And, if you had a difficult time throwing the grenade, that Sargent could kick you further then you could throw.

I remember that all too well. Once you’ve pulled the pin, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend.

Sounds like a great idea to me, SGT Jim Z.. Customizable grenades allow for bigger bang when needed and smaller when you don't need as much.
Then, though, the question will be ... How many base grenades to carry? And how many "extensions." Still, it seems like a good idea to me.

Yes those are some questions that will need to be asked and answered if this moves past the test and evaluation phase. Another question may be what is the formula or combination for deployment?

Hell with the grenades, we just used a "Claymore" or a 40mike-mike. But if you don't like explosives, have the Sea Bees come in, they have Bulldozers.
