I remember you held down the spoon with your thumb and left handers turn the gernade upside down. I wasn't aware the military had gone from the lemon shape to the round body.

I was never in an active duty cadre training position but I remember the OIC/NCOIC on the grenade range was a father son team, the son was a young 1LT. I didn't think that was real smart from an exposure to a single family. Our NG regiment had a guy going through 11B AIT the year before me who dropped a grenade and suffered the damages from it. They said his entrenching tool, the old wood handle model, protected his kidney and saved his life.
