That's nasty and something I would prefer not to know about.

[-] onion@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago

You didn't know about frag grenades?

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world -4 points 9 months ago

At least one puppy has been killed by this.

Puppies bro. Puppies.

That looks like it would take some limbs off.

[-] comrade19@lemmy.world 40 points 9 months ago

No. This would take out tree limbs. Ukrainian front line arborist and ex reddit admin here. We deploy these in forests using drones for expedited logging. The explosion will take out 203 trees within a 10.2m blast radius. Please do your research before commenting. /s

Hilarious, and even better because you let us know you were being sarcastic.

[-] Ersatz86@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Upvoting to offset downvotes.

Thank you for your service.

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Very Credible.

on that other site, i would have expected a table to get smashed by the end of the story.

[-] comrade19@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Professional table smasher of 24 years experience here. What you just wrote is a common misconception by beginner table smashers. /s Hahaha f*ck I cant keep this up

I thought that was some next level bike cassette lol

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

this is a gimmick and bad engineering

Gases will escape through large gaps and the fragments are far too large - these will score few hits, compare that with dm41 grenade notched wire layer - it fills entire surface and fragments are several times smaller

[-] naonintendois@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

I'm not sure why people are down voting you. My first thought is this is infective because the chain will only break into large pieces and might absorb a lot of the inner shrapnel / let the gases escape. I'd rather see these go through testing rather than just assuming it will work.

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 9 months ago

Maybe it was made to be silly on a purpose

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago

inner fragments? like from the tube? nah, these will go along just fine, or maybe the tube is plastic anyway

your line of thinking is mostly correct, look up wiki article of claymore mine, section development for more detsils - you need uniform layer of soft steel, gaps filled with something, optionally with a thin sheet of liner that will contain gases just a little bit longer, and it can't be too heavy compared to filler so these fragments can develop reasonable velocity, and these fragments can be probably much smaller than you think. a little math goes a long way here

How is this made in Minecraft? Is it a minecraft pipe bomb? How is the chain attached to the minecraft munition stay attached?

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

It's an improvised frag grenade using a chainsaw chain instead of a notched coil. If you look closely, you can see bailing wire keeping the chain on.
