If you’re like me, you don’t enjoy spending too much time around hand grenades. So when I see a photo like this, I am both amazed and curious at the wide variety. I guess grenades are kind of like doughnuts, where there used to be just one flavor, but now there are dozens. This has got to complicate life more than you’d like. Our great journalists who cover that part of the world tell me this guy appears to have fragmentation, offensive and sound grenades, which is a lot to remember when stuff starts happening and you really don’t want to hurl the wrong kind. I hope they have an easy-to-follow Grenade Guide you can carry in your pocket, or maybe some helpful memory aids or something.
