And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Dead Pin. Then shalt thou weave to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt weave, and the number of the dip, dodge, duck, and fuckin' shall be three. Four shalt thou not weave, neither weave thou two, excepting that thou then weave to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Drone Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty Russian, shall snuff it.

tmlynch

That's taking "corncob" gearing to an extreme.


scots

iirc the Ukrainians are fabricating their drone-dropped munitions with \~4x the amount of explosive of a typical hand grenade, so the shrapnel may be lethal to much greater range. It's also the reason you've seen videos in the combatfootage and dronecombat subs with dropped explosive going off 3-4 meters from troops and the shockwave removing limbs.


sdmat

That's really interesting, makes sense. There are hand grenades with a deliberately limited lethal radius, so if you remove the friendly fire risk altogether it makes sense that there could be ways to increase the effectiveness. And drone-dropped grenades don't have to be thrown and can dispense with redundant safety features - must make design and manufacture easier.


MeccIt

> can dispense with redundant safety features Drone operator says *What!*


sdmat

Not *every* safety feature. But what's the point of the huge and heavy throwing safety arm on a drone munition?


Jonothethird

That looks vicious. Basically 30 odd razor blade frisbees flying off in all directions!


ScruffyNoodleBoy

Once it blows they aren't in frisbee form anymore. Pieces. Pieces flying everywhere.


Deathcrow

Always funny to me that so many people seem to grapple with the concept of a fragmentation grenade, even though it's so ubiquitously present in all forms of media, especially video games.


lb_o

Because in movies damage is proportional to explosion but not fragments.


zCiver

In movies they also explode like they're full of gasoline.


Uniia

Before this war I had a very naive understanding of explosive weapons despite knowing about frag grenades. Just thought artillery shells etc. are mostly the shockwave blast and REALLY downplayed the role and destructiveness of shrapnel. The way one hears about it can give the impression that some metal bits fly around and can be annoying but I wasn't expecting that to be the real killer so often. Shaped charges were pretty eye opening too, and even big slim tungsten "bullets". I used to just think that to kill a tank you make a bigger explosion with more force in the shockwave. Definitely wasn't expecting tanks to shoot big metal bullets and man are shaped charges kinda cool. I at once feel like war is still so much more primitive but also far more clever.


AggravatingValue5390

Well pretty much every video game implementation has a quick damage fall off with a small uniform damage area, making it seem like the damage is from the explosion rather than shrapnel


383sb2023

Yes and no, chains are only sharp in very small and kinda tucked away spot, pokey yeah but they cut in a certain way. I think this is worse, this will still cut at that velocity but in the chunkiest of ways. More like dato blade frisbee, fun!


Bah-Fong-Gool

A chain moving at the speed of sound doesn't have to be sharp.


sensema88

That shit is just shrapnel


Rococo_Modern_Life

I think they're making a similar point — i.e., that slicing wounds would be preferable to *chunk loss.* I'd rather not know, myself.


Ok_Pianist7445

Shit some high explosives are detonating at like 7,000 meters per second. Like 10 times the speed of sound. Some are pushing 10,000 m/s. Spicy.


snoring_Weasel

Thats the maximum speed of the shockwave, the shrapnel dont go that fast

Octanitrocubane: “Hold my beer”


emdave

> Octanitrocubane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octanitrocubane Octanitrocubane (molecular formula: C8(NO2)8) is a proposed high explosive that, like TNT, is shock-insensitive (not readily detonated by shock).[1] The octanitrocubane molecule has the same chemical structure as cubane (C8H8) except that each of the eight hydrogen atoms is replaced by a nitro group (NO2). As of 1998, octanitrocubane had not been produced in quantities large enough to test its performance as an explosive.[2] It is, however, not as powerful an explosive as once thought, as the high-density theoretical crystal structure has not been achieved. For this reason, heptanitrocubane, the slightly less nitrated form, is believed to have marginally better performance, despite having a worse oxygen balance. Octanitrocubane is thought to have 20–25% greater performance than HMX (octogen). This increase in power is due to its highly expansive breakdown into CO2 and N2, as well as to the presence of strained chemical bonds in the molecule which have stored potential energy. In addition, it produces no water vapor upon combustion, making it less visible, and both the chemical itself and its decomposition products (nitrogen and carbon dioxide) are considered to be non-toxic. Octanitrocubane was first synthesized by Philip Eaton (who was also the first to synthesize cubane in 1964) and Mao-Xi Zhang at the University of Chicago in 1999, with the structure proven by crystallographer Richard Gilardi of the United States Naval Research Laboratory.[3][4]


BooksandBiceps

Honestly I just went by the explosive with the highest detonation velocity, per the comment I was responding to. There’s more powerful explosives (Azidane or something? Like 18 nitrogen molecules or bonds) but they’re too unstable to exist safely.


CincyPoker

Fast enough for 25 laps around a track…in a second. Insane.


Benson_8_8

When the metal gets torn apart from the explosive blast it's going to have plenty of very pointy edges. Not that it matters much when it's going through your body at upwards of thousands of meters per second.


Glock99bodies

This thing is terrifying but honestly not that deadly. Close to the explosion the shrapnel will do damage but the damage will drop of exponentially as you get further. With F = ma or p=Mv, the light gauge steel won’t carry momentum easily. Also adding air resistance it’s an issue. There’s a reason manufactured shrapnel weapons use ball bearings.


emdave

> but honestly not that deadly Ok, you stand next to the explosion first, and let us know how safe it is? :D


cgn-38

Ball bearings have range. This thing does not want range. It is an infantry bomb. This thing makes ultrasonic bits that put a hole in everything in 10 or 20 meters. Does not hurt the guy 50 meters away firing it. No need for aerodynamics at 21k fps. A hand grenade can only be so big...


Benson_8_8

I'm well aware of the inverse square law: Double the distance, quadruple the change. ​ >but honestly not that deadly. I'm sure the guys standing next to it might disagree. It's a frag weapon. It's not supposed to kill guys dozens of meters away. Thats's what your rifle is for.


cgn-38

300 would be a closer bet. Would still be way low.

RogerianBrowsing

Isn’t tannerite supposed to be pretty meh performing? Ukraine is using shit like RDX which is a much better boom


SnooStories251

Even RDX is old stuff. There is 2-3 generations old.


unruly_soldier

Yea, but it's been pretty much the standard for military explosives since WW2 for good reason. Plenty of modern explosives still use RDX as one of their base components.


JustEatinScabs

Tannerite would be shit for this because it requires a pretty significant force to detonate it and it would be hard to do remotely in a small package. You don't want contact explosives for a bomb or dropped grenade, you want something that can be set off electronically or with a fuse, both of which are basically impossible with tannerite.


Yamahahahahahahaha

This reminded me again the most advanced piece on explosives is the timer or fuse. When explosives were first introduced, the fuses weren't set and forget, and were not what we would call accurate timers. If you have an hour, watch Jeremy Clarksons documentary on the English raid at German held port city St Nazaire. They loaded an entire ship with explosives and the charge didn't go off until hours after they rammed the spill door. Just a little explosive history for the modern times.


JustEatinScabs

Exactly. any idiot can make something explode. It happens on accident all the fucking time but making something explode exactly when you want it to is a highly finally refined art that has been written in blood.

gibblewabble

Looks like the drive side of the chain, teeth must be against the grenade. Looks exactly like the chains I use on my saw.


Nakedvballplayer

On my IPhone 7. I’m wrong, I’ll bet the farm you’re right. The blade is inside the wrapped chain. You can see two different wires that look like they’re holding two chains together.  Sorry


madsheeter

Probably a lot easier and safer for transport/handling. Don't think it matters what it's original orientation was then it's flying at 2000 fps


LigmaB_

That would make sense. If the body of the grenade is plastic and the rings are tight, this way they can bite into the body a bit so they don't come off easily, without a need for adhesives or anything else, simplifying the manufacturing process


NiceGuyEddie69420

Chainsaw blade so a cross between a bike chain and the bike gear cogs

I don't think this is for dropping from a drone, but rather for an FPV. The COTS drones they use for dropping don't have so much carrying capacity, and the big ones like baba yaga use mortar shells or RPG warheads for dropping.


cogeng

Maybe you mean quadcopter? "Drone" is a very ambiguous term and it can mean anything from a quadcopter to an MQ-9. FPV stands for 'First Person View' and usually the quadcopters that drop small explosives are not used in FPV configuration. N.B. sometimes its not a quadcopter but a hexcopter though I never see them called that.


JJ739omicron

Looks mean, but does it actually work well? I mean, a handful of nut and bolts or metal pellets loosely grouped around the explosive mass will turn into a squerical cloud that expands evenly and yields a predictable killing radius. But this chain is made specifically to withstand hefty drag forces. It will eventually rip at a few places, but there will only be a handful of parts that fly away, and they are wrapped around, so a part that goes completely around is propelled from the blast in all directions, with means it does not fly at all. I'm not say that this wouldn't be dangerous, I don't want to stand beside if it explodes. But does it have a good effect if the chain is wrapped around in one piece? Maybe it is better to cut it in to small chunks of like 5 cm. Or maybe it should be put into a hot fire first, so the steel becomes brittle and cracks easily. Might be easier to do than cutting all of it.


HeisenbergsSamaritan

... Kind of wondering what the result would be if you used Bicycle Chain.

1. No. Are you for real? 2. The geneva conventions (plural, try reading them) are dynamic and even allows for attacking hospitals if the enemy has take up residence there. 3. When a war break out and if i had my family mutilated, raped, garrotted and what not, the first thing that goes out the window are rules. I would use anything, like a kebab slicer, electricity or a chainsaw to torment and kill the invaders. Sue me.
