Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

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.
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
