Do you really need grenades or claymores, or will any small fragment blast do?

None of them was exploding, unless I missed something.
Furthermore, you posted (well, almost) on topic in the Off-topic forum.
Shame on you :wink:

And there's no such thing as 'overkill' :P

In case the smileys didn't give it away, I was kidding.I guess I should have added one to the first line. My bad.

'All the spa...'-Hmm.What could that have been supposed to read?

spartans? Nah. spaceships? None in this thread. spandex? Neither. spar-stangled banner?None either, and Knife's spelling is usually better than that. spatial anomalies? That would be in the PST forum.spaniels? Can't remember any dogs in this thread. spares? I dunno-what does a replacement post look like?

A-HA! But you just wrote it in all-caps, meaning it actually is an acronym.

Which, of course, leaves me with the task of finding out what it's an acronym for.Hmmm again...

Society for the Protection of Anarchronisms-nah.Nobody's argued for keeping the imperial system here.

Self Propelled Artillery-maybe in the HAB forum.

Sienna Panda Attack-a cookie to whoever gets that one first

SMG's Playboy Apearance-I wish

Superman Protection Act-a law to ban Marvel?

Okay, I was watching Firebase Gloria and they used Claymores against a VC position(this was at night). When these claymores exploded there was a significant amount of flame, now since this is a movie I assume it is inaccurate but I wanted to know how much visible flame comes from real grenades and claymores.
