stevasaurus 22,230 #130 Posted April 27, 2019 You are right Cas, but I think I saw one like it on "Forged in Fire". It's a key ring with a Hooby Dooby on it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it doesn’t go on a grenade of any type, but you’re in the right thinking that it’s used for practice/training. Different piece of equipment though. Practice grenades are steel balls (reusable) that have a fancy smoke bomb in them. They do “explode” but only into a cloud of smoke, as any explosive force is contained and disrupted by the steel wiffle ball that holds the charge. The “explosion” is much more pronounced when the fuse/Charge mechanism is placed inside of a cored Apple instead of a steel ball, or so I’ve heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this the safety devise that goes over the end of the barrel on an M4 carbine and is used during training exercises? Dave It can fit any M16 variant. It is called a Blank Firing Adapter (BFA). From Wikipedia: “A blank-firing adapter or blank-firing attachment (BFA), sometimes called a blank adapter or blank attachment, is a device used in conjunction with blank ammunition. Blank firing adapters are required for allowing blanks to cycle most automatic firearms. It can also be a safety feature designed so if a live round is mistakenly fired, most of the energy is spent smashing through the BFA reducing both the range and damage inflicted. A BFA may also divert the hot gases from a blank discharge out to the sides, reducing the risk of injury to the target of an aimed shot.[1]” 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
