Main Military Weapon of Your Country: Part 12

[Kouralia]

once you are in the building explosives are off the table, as UBGL won't arm, handgrenades might be thrown back, or just blow you up too if the walls are shittier than you expected.

I believe that's contrary to British FiBUA.

You're Using grenades in CQC wrong. (0:56)

Throwing a 40mm grenade into a room is not a viable method of taking the room, mainly because it won't explode if you just throw it.

Why are you using 40mm grenades in room clearance?

Why are you using 40mm grenades in room clearance?

You're not, you're using 40mm Buckshot because 40mm grenades in room clearance is silly.

I've said this at least a dozen times in the past ten minutes.

only acceptable grenade launcher (aside from rifle grenades) is m79

Hence, 40mm buck.

Yes,post-entry.And flash if you have it. Pre-entry you try to blow 'em the fuck up, as less CQC equals more happiness and less people bleeding.

I'm a fan of the Mk. 13 myself. Moreso than the M320/AG36.

Why is the following not occurring:
1) You using whatever weapon the UBGL's attached to
2) You letting your squad go in first, and thus having nothing to do with room clearance

[Aqizithiuda]

It should be mentioned that 40mm buckshot rounds were developed for the M79 in Vietnam. The intended use was for it to be already loaded prior to an ambush. When the troops were ambushed, the grenadier would have some way to fire back before he took cover and got his sidearm or started to target more distant enemies.

1 grenade goes in (hopefully) creates mess.
2 team goes in and messes up what the grenade failed to.
3 Team leaves, mess remains, poor Consuela gets to celan up.

If steps one and two concurr, team ends up on Consuelas mop as well.

No no no no."

Grenades have to travel a minimal distance before they arm themselves.
40mm buck was designed to be used in situations when the operator would be facing ranges within that minimal distance (such as inside a building) but doesn't have another weapon due to their grenade launcher being their main weapon.


In other words, the China Lake Grenade Launcher is the best pump action shotgun and I don't know why we're using R870s instead.

i think he was talking about your average hand grenade.
you don't need no grenade launcher in close quarters.
nevermind, i screwed up. didn't notice last posts.
BTW, finishing that .458 SOCOM revolver challenge.

You can also use an unarmed-launched 40mm grenade as a lethal projectile/huge ass bullet at close distances if need be.

Fighting, in, built, up, areas.
FiBUA, another acronym for urban warfare. similar to MOUT, or CQB sorta.

[Kouralia]

I believe that's contrary to British FiBUA.

British what?
And who talked about htrowing 40mm? I said throw frag/thermobaric Handgrenade not 40mm.

Thats it. UBGLs might be contraproductive as they make the rifle heavier which means slower reaction.
I said, handgrenade pre-entry, rifle/shotgun/flash post entry.
Anyway justwait for Puz to weigh in. I'm sure he knows what is the best room cleaning procedure.

And according to FiBUA handgrenades are to be used in confined buildings with weakish walls when the entry team is already inside?

1. Because we aren't talking about UBGLs.
2. That does seem logical, but if that's what happened we wouldn't have 40mm buckshot in the first place.

I liked FIBUA because it sounded butch, FISH because it sounded funny, but FISH & CHIPS sounds absolutely glorious and so very Squaddie Humour.

Beano, you have to aim a shotgun as a rifle when clearing a room. Even if you're using a pump action grenade launcher, you will still have to be:

A: Fast as shit at firing and working the action.
B: Accurate as shit.
C: Stupid.

You will be dead before you kill 2 people inside the room. If used right, a grenade will explode before anyone inside the room can do anything about it.

It should be mentioned that 40mm buckshot rounds were developed for the M79 in Vietnam.

IIRC Dolph Lundgren uses an M79 loaded with buckshot in the beginning scene of The Expendables.

Your statement was 'can't use hand grenades' implying a blanket statement.

Is that the one where he vapourises all of a terrorist above the waist or something cuts him in half?

Which is better than launching a grenade and either:

1. it doesn't do anything because you're in a room and inside minimal arming distance, or
2. you're outside minimal arming distance and it blows up and you die/get injured.

Also you wouldn't be the only one. It's not like soldiers load in their 40mm buckshot and then go leroy jenkinsing up the empire state building.

Okay I wasn't unambiguous, offcourse I don't think handgrenades are categorically off the table. In a well bulit brick or concrete building they do fine, but in a wooden house, or an office space with cubicles things could go bad.

should I bother continuing with this?

Thats why you use a hand grenade.

Sure thing. But now add some sights and a bayonet.

It looks fine. I say, do it.
