Thermite Grenade

[fmnrmb2]

America; God bless!

[Harlequin619]

Please tell me this is just what they do when they're having fun and they're not this incompetent in the field... XP

[00BuCkErZ00]

haha "are you supposed to look directly at it?" with the unanimous "No"

[yojo619]

ha ha ha US Army has all the fun

[manner1232]

@yojo619t They are Marines.

[PartyGirlz407]

Stop that is stupid

[elixer412]

i liked the part when it was bright as fuck!

[salottin]

Join the Army =D

[hbunnie1120]

Nice to see our boys having some fun..!

[Dulcimerea]

i thought a fire extinguisher wouldn't work unless the reaction is finished anyway-- and nothing else was burning.

[everglow1000]

i like how it's at some pplz house

[fishmanruler]

seal team 6 used one of these on one of their downed black hawks, after killing bin laden and before leaving. there reason was so it couldntnbe recovered by the enemy

[whackitov]

i thought those guys were out there to fight the 'axis of eeeeevil' and not to rob peoples safes?

[norulesjustplay94]

if that was a real thermite grenade that extinguisher was totally usless. you can't extinguish thermite, the oxigen comes from the thermite itself.

Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) → Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s); ΔH = -851.5 kJ/mol

you see the O3? if not, look better!

[appledapathy]

@norulesjustplay94 thanks for stating the obvious dumb fuck, why do you think its called iron OXIDE dip shit?

[zeus7623]

@appledapathy you're an angry little fucker aren't ya?

[appledapathy]

@zeus7623 Only when I see dumb fuckers like the guy above me

[pr0faker]

@norulesjustplay94 how about they would extinguish the possible fire AFTER the thing burned out.... For the rest you are indeed right.

[HeavenJudgement02]

@norulesjustplay94 The oxidizing reaction was over. Thats why CO2 was effective at killing the remaining flames.

[leeking007]

@norulesjustplay94 Yes thats right however I doubt that the US military would give them a fake thermite grenade.

[TheQStor]

@norulesjustplay94

Agreed, but the thermite can light other materials on fire, ones you can extinguish. So while you can't use the fire extinguisher to put out the thermite itself, you can use it to put out other things -.-

[lilaznmage15]

@norulesjustplay94 I believe they were using the extinguisher to cool down the molten metal since the reaction was already finished.

[chleubchen]

@norulesjustplay94 you can extinguish termite because a fire needs 3 things oxigen.heat.material. take one of these and your fire is out ...co2 is cold so it would extinguish even termite...

[Toxicology5]

@chleubchen To my knowledge thermite will bun under almost any conditions short of being at 0 degrees kelvin (impossible) or at least very close to it, it is able to easily penetrate lead, Solid H2O (ice) and even causes an explosion to occur when it is dropped in liquid nitrogen. There are few ways in which it is possible to stop, some very expensive ceramic surfaces may slow it down somewhat, but i doubt that they will stop it. One unusual property is its ability to have its own oxygen supply.

[GrayHatLinux]

@chleubchen thermite has it's own oxygen supply, and it burns at several thousand degrees Celcius. They use it for underwater welding a lot, and no, CO2 will not put it out or anything close to that.

[freeman8201]

@norulesjustplay94 Such a cool Rxn, with reactants and products. I'm taking Organic chem. But the thermite rxn was done. So, don't you suppose the rxn could've been extinguish?

[derekroolz]

@norulesjustplay94 You can help contain the reaction by dumping sand on it :) Whatever you do, don't use water.

[leiefilm]

@norulesjustplay94 I seem to recall reading somwhere that miletary thermite is not quite the same as the real deal,but comes close.But can't say for sure whats the diffrence.But what do you put out thermite with than?

[michaelxxxtofu]

@leiefilm I believe the "Thermite grenades" that the military uses is actually Thermate, which contains Thermite.

[leiefilm]

@michaelxxxtofu mot acording to wikipedia

[TheCFTube]

@norulesjustplay94 The reaction was over, it was clearly just hot molten metal that he used it on.

[MrShadowgw]

a group of spetsnaz were probley watching and got pissed cause there mcmuzzlims coupons were in that mail box

[Johnsavag]

Even if this was a waste, thermite is cheap, compared to most military weapons.

[MrAhrya1230]

HOLY SHIS THE GUY HOLDING THE CAMERA SOUNDS LIKE HUTCH!!

[END2BEGINNING]

So... what was in the safe?

[borderraven]

In light that this was for training, not waste, did the grenade burn into the safe enough to ignite any class A materials?

[ConnerColemanMSHS]

Jarhead Clan.

[restorationsanity]

this should be an add for people who comment on youtube videos to eat my cock

[aharding96]

Well...this should be an ad campaign to show that any dumb ass can join the military

[FeuerwerkATZE]

So you wanna crack safes with that kind of grenade ;o

[AirGunFun101]

why didnt they just use a real grenade...

[adadqgg]

@AirGunFun101 I assume you mean fragmentation grenades...

Those little fragments do not crack safes that well(too small, too light)...

[iCauseQuads]

@adadqgg haha good point..

[gaspainsify]

@iCauseQuads Not only that but thermite grenades are designed for destroying material. Either enemy equipment that can't be secured or your own that can't be packed up and must be, to use the US military wording, "destroyed in place."

[student135]

you throw one of these into enemy room ,, they are TOAST!

[kennyb0y1597]

SOLDIER UR SUPPOSED TO USE THAT ON THE ENEMY WHAT THE HELL ARE U THINKING WASTING THAT ON A STUPID SAFE?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Just kidding but wat r u supposed to use them for?

[iPwnUalllol]

lol wrong type of fire extinguisher

[warrenEhartman]

whats the purpose of this grenade? =/

[Dover78]

@warrenEhartman Fuck Shit Up

[Oooaarrr]

@warrenEhartman I think if you threw it just after pulling the pin, it would spew molten shit everywhere, kinda a bit like a hand-held napalm :D

[g0uchie42]

@warrenEhartman burning through metal plates, or possibly a hardcore flash grenade. The UV can burn your eyeballs.

[silentcell88]

@warrenEhartman

The most practical application i heard for this grenade is to foul the barrels of anti aircraft guns and ruin weapons caches.

[AKAtheA]

@silentcell88 Although the 2sec fuse is a bit unpractical...

[PyroRul3s]

until 1:30 i thought there was just a few guys, but then i relized there was a whole army of them!

[Mittens322]

It scares off terrorists

[dbenson31]

You just gave away your postion in the most creative way!

[dbenson31]

WHAT WAS YOUR CO DOING!?

[vangard1994]

well hey thats one way to break in to a safe. BURN IT, BURN IT ALL

[Targetf]

@vangard1994 that's what termite is supposed to do xD

[pyroscience42]

Theres are tax doallars at work!

[FrogmortonHotchkiss]

Um, if that safe wasn't some unwilling Afghan's property then I don't see what the big deal is - the actual war itself wastes a trillion times the resource value of this bit of fun clowning around. In fact, let's stop killing people with all these weapons and all just have some dumbass fun with them instead; maybe we can all unite over our shared desire for incendiary spectacle.

[heidji]

isn't that the stuff they used to bring down the WTCs?

[AnonTheWindCriesMary]

@heidji yup. :(



[JELLOFACTORY]

I'm not american... i dont pay your taxes... I approve this activity.

[Ir0nF1st924]

@JELLOFACTORY i am american, i dont pay taxes, i approve this activity also

[ThunderDarkStudios]

@JELLOFACTORY I AM american, and even I approve this activity. :)

[LarsLarsen]

You cant put out a class D fire (metal fire) with a fire extinguisher.

[Ir0nF1st924]

@LarsLarsen lol right, because you can obviously put out molten metal with a fire extinguisher

[fobgalore]

"Sir! There's our signal to flak that place" ...."Fire!" ....

"O shit, John i TOld you not to light that nade up!"

[badwolfshamma]

hmmmmmm instead of smoke granades fire extinguisher and instead of normal grenades thermite....... i like it lol

[DIECASTER]

...No wonder they hate us....fucking shit up just for the fun of it.

Not exactly a way to their "Hearts and Minds"...

[vxSMOKEYxv]

All this talk about Freedom is making me laugh.

[supernukeboy666]

you cant put thermite out with a fire extinguisher nice to know the army takes percautions but uhhh take the right ones

[TheSpanishHamster]

how did you get the thermite to burn so long?????!!!

[ChrisBre13]

US army, keeping the world safe from.......safes

[d10dawg]

...and thats the life of an american marine

[gza1234]

I rather have my tax dollars used on grenades than chlidren.

[theravinglunatic470]

Thats why i want to be a marine.

[theravinglunatic470]

Thats why i want to join the military.

[fennectech]

i wouldent catch a greenade for you

[dunmer2000]

i like how we critize these people for having fun...their obviously entertaining themselves, being in a boring hot desert is prolly not the most fun circumstances so go troops and sqrew you anti american sissys

[fisheatsyourhead]

hey, i got one of those from a soviet mcDonnald's earlier...

[dinkcool]

americans...

[vtogvblog]

Are we supost to look directly at it? NONONONO!!!!!

[INiixSoN]

omfg i thought about this grenade after watching myth busters ehhh i hate the world thinking of ideas b4 me...

[killytbe6]

Sooo... why were they trying to open a safe with a thermite grenade?

[lordpoee]

First of all: You have no idea if they were goofing off or not, its possible they were trying to breech the safe after other methods failed(as I see multiple attempts on the front door) or perhaps they were attempting to destroy the contents of the safe.

[tiggerjayeward]

im being serious: these guys are cool! i mean they can still upload videos while being in a war... thats pretty hardcore!

[modmatarael]

to those of you whining about it being a waste of taxpayer money, its really not all that much. thermite is aluminum powder mixed with iron oxide powder(rust). lo and behold, those materials are really cheap. it probably costs more for the igniter and the casing combined. all in all, youre looking at maybe 10$-20$ for the entire thing, depending on factory prices.

[cdtend3r]

Should have used a 25mm round.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

alright im tired off this tax dollar bullshit. im a fucken proud american and i dont care about my "tax dollars" being spent on dumb shit, their having well deserved fun. would you like your "tax dollars" back or keep your freedom. your choice

[t3st1c]

@5hiThAppEnS2 It's a shame your tax dollars weren't spent on your spelling or grammar :p

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@t3st1c its a shame that you have decide between grammer and your freedom based on tax dollars. i dont know about you but i love my freedom and i know im not the smartest tool in the box but you can either stand by side our troops or stand in front of them. thats your decision and i cant make that, freedom of speach.

[thystevenmeister]

@5hiThAppEnS2 Stupidest comment ever. Who says you are free?

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@thystevenmeister i say im fuckin free. no needs to tell you whether your free or not, i cant take your freedom and i know sure as hell your not taking mine, or some shit bag over using power

[thystevenmeister]

@5hiThAppEnS2 Try to live without a job, then we will be talking about freedom.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@thystevenmeister im sorry you dont have a job. but how does this involve freedom?

[naym2011]

@5hiThAppEnS2 they can have fun giving free healthcare instead of fucking about

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@naym2011 i dont really understand what you said about healthcare?

[naym2011]

@5hiThAppEnS2 the Military consumes 800 billion dollars a year that money could be spent on healthcare

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@naym2011 or feeding the hungry. sheltering the homeless, or fighting a war on terror(soon to be over). Pretty soon im going to be paying for my neighbors healthcare because im part of the upperclass sopposedly because my neighbor cant. but im not mad. The money spent on the war on terror is ALOT il even tell you that but i rather see our service men having fun with this thermite grenade than having them have to deal with terrorists trying to kill them non stop

[naym2011]

@5hiThAppEnS2 terrorist kill them because they see them as occupiers

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@naym2011 I understand that. but you cant have terrorists running towns in not as well off countries trying to restablize like iraq. I know that the terrorists think they are freedom fighters, but do freedom fighters need to act in such a way that the unstablized country is scared. thats what occupiers are suppose to do protect while the country in rebuilding

[carfreak1024]

@naym2011 do you really think that even though americans treated other countries like shit in the past they are just gonna be cool with you guys when you have no military power! you are gonna need that 800 billion in healthcare when other countries exact revenge on you guys. People with the neccessary info make these decisions not dumbasses on youtube who have no REAL facts.

[naym2011]

@carfreak1024 dont try and be a smart ass. as a citizen I have every right to judge the govt does not know best fool. some washington politician who invades iraq for BS is no better judge than me . no one can harm america who ?? hey america has a 1 trillion dollar empire its all about controlling the world.

[violentbuddha]

@5hiThAppEnS2 dollars, please.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@violentbuddha what do you meen dollars please?

[violentbuddha]

@5hiThAppEnS2 i believe it was you who asked if we would rather have our tax dollars back or be free. i choose dollars, please. and if you disagree, i will take yours as well, thank you.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@violentbuddha so you rather keep a part of your tax money and have power enraged shit heads doing whatever they want because you chose so. We are not isolationists in america. Theres a reason we intervene in other countries where order cannot always be restored take germany for example. If people just always wanted their tax dollars and didnt care about a war or supporting their hard fighting service men we could still have Hitler his successor. Why do you think Bin Ladens dead. He was a threat

[violentbuddha]

@5hiThAppEnS2 honestly, i believe we already have "power enraged shit heads doing whatever they want", i simply prefer to have the money too. And i, for one, am all for isolationism. Dredging up Hitler from 75 years ago is a pretty weak argument thats been a scare tactic for jumping up the ass of which ever country we like. Attacking someone who bombs us isnt the same as attacking someone we suspect might have the tools to one day consider bombing someone.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@violentbuddha You do have a point and i respect your oppinion and i cant change that. Bringing up hitler is just an example just like watching countries that have heavy tension between us and our allies like Iran and in Korea. How are we suppose to have allies in an isolationistic world? But dont you think we should be cautious and not neccesarily occupy iraq but "advise" because you and i know both know if our military completely withdraws even more deadly chaos will spread in the middle east.

[tim0090]

@5hiThAppEnS2

how does it have anything to do with keeping freedom the only thing it has to do with is forcing someone to sell oil though them!

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@tim0090 because without tax dollars being paid then we wouldnt be in iraq, and afganistan? and were not forcing iraq to sell us oil

[daobagua]

@5hiThAppEnS2 False dichotomy. You could stand to have your military drastically reduced and still maintain your freedom. You would just not be involved in nation building.

Their are pros and cons to nation building, some cases, like Japan and Germany it worked well. Others, middle east, it has not. I guess it is up to americans if they want to become more indebted to the chinese so they can build democracies on foreign land. Perhaps they should consider trading instead.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@daobagua your correct in that case but we would decline as a world power in my mind. were not establishing democracies on foreign soil we are helpin rehabilitate an entire country. do you really think iraq is stable enough without our help stablizing the region? also it worked for germany because they ran a fasciast government with their dictator that was enraged with power and fed off of it. It only worked for Japan as the emporer lost power. It could work in smaller countries that are stable

[KevinSun242]

@5hiThAppEnS2 Yeah I don't get why people keep crying about soldiers having some fun. If you got such a big problem, go fucking fight yourself.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@KevinSun242 your deserve a fuckin medal for what you just said

[Second2Rush]

@5hiThAppEnS2 He just as Well might Get one!

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@Second2Rush HOT DAMN!

[KevinSun242]

@5hiThAppEnS2 I haven't done anything really. Give the medal to those guys.

[KevinSun242]

@5hiThAppEnS2 No thx. Ill take a cookie tho.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@KevinSun242 sorry man dont got anny

[KevinSun242]

@5hiThAppEnS2 I wasn't angry at all. I was just expressing my preference of a cookie over a medal?????

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@KevinSun242 i never said i was angry haha?

[KevinSun242]

@5hiThAppEnS2 I meant me... but okies

[Arwyroe]

@5hiThAppEnS2 war is freedom... how??

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@Arwyroe how the fuck did i say war is freedom?

[cmanclan101]

@5hiThAppEnS2

thats a retarded point.. "if you want freedom, give up freedom"

also, thermite grenades is how we are instructed to dispose of certain things that we come across, its not just for fun.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@cmanclan101 first off your a fuckin idiot. i never said "if you want freedom, give up freedom". maybe if you learned to read like most people can you could actually understand what i wrote instead of yourself looking like a complete dumbass. secondly im pretty sure they were not instructed on using that thermite grenade on that vault, they were just using it lfor fun as the marines/soldiers had their weapons with their mags out unloaded and the fact that it was video taped!

[2641985]

@5hiThAppEnS2

the army gives a shit about freedom its all about ressources and money. you want freedom? YOU have to fight for freedom for yourself. it´s not the army or the police, it depends on you.

and no! you can´t buy freedom with tax.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@2641985 ok first off are you going to be that bitchy about your own military and say that they dont do anything to protect us or our freedom if you do your a fuckin idiot.second its not all about us wanting resources and money, iraq has the second largest amount of oil at atleast 112 billion barrels we havnt even tapped into the sands of iraq. we are protecting it from foreign invaders.Third you have to pay expenses for an army such as taxes. and i rather pay taxes for an army to protect me

[philr883]

@5hiThAppEnS2 i agree with you in the sense that thermite is quite cheap for the average person, so the army must get it for mad cheap, so people should stfu or gtfo to a more sensible country like canada

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@philr883 hahahah i know right

[totalsextacy]

@5hiThAppEnS2 I hope you are the only of your pathetic kind. If you don't care where your taxes go then just mail them to me asshole, I'll be glad to go buy booze on your dime. God bless America.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@totalsextacy i never said i didnt care where my tax money goes. im saying im ok with my tax dollars being spent on a few soldiers hard earned free time and messin around

[totalsextacy]

@5hiThAppEnS2 I see. I apologize for my aggressiveness and for the misunderstanding.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@totalsextacy haha ok

[gainispain]

@5hiThAppEnS2

your a fucking idiot. this war is pointless, you cant fight terrorism, it isnt an actual enemy but rather a war tactic. and all this "fighting for freedom" is straight bull as well, but no american realizes this because as soon as someone disagrees with you, your labelled a "terrorist".

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@gainispain so your saying the death of osama bin laden is "pointless" then. and its not what you say that labels you as a terrorist.Americans have protests everyday! and theyre not labeled as terrorist but protestors. The actions that labeled osama as a terrorist are endless, from the world trade center attacks, to simple carbombs against schools and voting fascilities. But if your right that what you say makes you a terrorist then i gues martin luther king jr was a terrorist then

[Ir0nF1st924]

@5hiThAppEnS2 they arent fighting for our freedom, they are just misinformed tools used to take all the oil from the middle east. 9/11 was the inside job excuse used to deploy troops over there

[BioCryo]

@5hiThAppEnS2 I think you don't realize how many more free countries there are with less expensive military budgets. In fact, most of Europe is free and has a combined military budget of way-fucking-less than us.

[dumapies]

@5hiThAppEnS2

if you want the army to protect your freedom, or whats left of it, go have them invade Washington....not some random fucking desert that poses no threat to us WHAT SO FUCKING EVER

[noahevans]

@5hiThAppEnS2 Fuck. What a waste of tax dollars.

[woolridgewilly]

@noahevans no different then all the millions of dollars of munitions pumped into the ground everyday at any given post

[speeps84]

@5hiThAppEnS2 It's just that tax dollars could be spent in much better ways or they can be saved up to pay off debts and crap

[TheGod666slayer]

glad to see our army is doing some fucking awesome stuff in their spare time

[godofpeach90]

@TheGod666slayer

Firstly, those are marines...

Secondly, its not like they can go to the movies or go golfing or something... Get over yourself.

[TheGod666slayer]

@godofpeach90 firstly fuck off sorry i dont know that much about the military. second fuck off again because i was being serious...i'm fine with our military doing this i didnt mean to have sarcasm so yeah have a nice day douche :]

[godofpeach90]

@TheGod666slayer First, nice grammar, you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Second, you sure seemed all sarcastic and rude about so sue me for trying to enlighten you.

[TheGod666slayer]

@godofpeach90 that was a good one...just fucking kidding. your just trying to start a fight on the internet. you're such a big tough guy (for your socially retarded self that was sarcasm). and why would i focus on grammar for some annoying guy trying to get smart with me on youtube lol. i'm done with your dumb ass so peace bro

[godofpeach90]

@TheGod666slayer missions accomplished then, right? haha

[TheGod666slayer]

@godofpeach90 yeah totally man that was funny! shut up

great grenade, pull the pin out and you have about 0.1 second to throw it... xD

[moonasha]

@Chirimorin1 the fuse on grenades doesn't start until it's release from the hand. anyways, these aren't meant for throwing at people, they are for shoving into artillery weapons to destroy them...

[Chirimorin1]

@moonasha still, a bit longer time between release and firing wouldn't hurt
