Allows soldiers to use three different increments of explosives.  Cool idea but I think a lot of soldiers would end up with a lot of unused explosives at the end of the day

no way brother. OUR guys ? Left with extra EXPLOSIVES ?

we are overachievers by nature take calculation and guess work out of it and use the full set !

overcompensate !

Nothing succeeds like excess.

I like that Idea.  Not sure if a grenade will take 'em out?  let's make it 3x as effective... this way we'll make sure

Overkill is the best kind of kill.

Looks like a Pmag and a propane canister had a baby.

I wonder what the standard load would be though? Sure it's great to want to maximize the blast at all times but clearly the designer sees a need for the smaller charges or else he'd just make a bigger grenade. So, throw one single increment grenade or two - how many extra increments should you expect to have left with no way to set them off?

Or perhaps you would carry two fully stacked and twist off what you think you don't need in close quarters. Still, that leaves you with extra.

I would think if these were adopted they might be given to combat engineers.

Anyway, just speculating on something the Army doesn't use lol!

Yes! Yes, please!

ISIL Pill..

This just seems like something that would have the "As seen on TV!" logo and available now at Walmart and Walgreens nationwide.

so you need to keep track of the fused module, and the unfuzed modules and then play legos while people are tyring to kill you. 

 

Fantastic idea... truly fantastic.

Easier than a Dragon or a Claymore. If you are playing legos with the thing I am assuming it is not responding to contact or in a firefight. Probably more like getting ready to mess someone/something up. I would think the stuff you have ready to go is single stack and maybe a few extra of these in a ruck or something.

Seems pretty easy to me.  Need more bang?  Screw another one on the bottom!  That would be good for say, destroying equipment...

On a practical note. If you have trained to throw a 1lb weight, hows your range and accuracy gonna be with a 2 or 3 lb'er.

 

Now instead of ordering 1000 grenades you order 500 part A, and 500 part B. Economies of scale make just using 2 grenades cheaper than using 1 AB grenade.

Another solution looking for a problem.

So carrying extra weight and two types of devices vs say duct tape or whatever the current field expedient solution is? 

 

I'd be with you if the formula was I have three usable grenades. To stack them I unscrew two fuse sections and make one big grenade, and only do this when it's premeditated and feasible, but form what I have read on them, there are fuse sections and non fuse sections, and they aren't the same. Which sounds like a bad idea from, at the VERY least, a total weight of gear perspective.

You mean a Satchel Charge? The answer is not as far and not for the same purpose.

 

Heck, I know two guys that blew themselves up throwing grenades at a 2nd story window from the street. There's a right application and a wrong application for such things.
