Non "Hollywood BS" grenade fuze

After seeing comments from the video where the guy in Cambodia drops the grenade after flinching, I realized most people think grenades act like they do in Hollywood movies / video games. Not many realize there is a primer that goes off as soon as you release the spoon and that it is makes quite a bit of noise. First part of the video was to show that the grenade in fact was only a dummy with primer and nothing else, I wear a glove because it was the first hand held test of it and I didn't want to risk pieces of primer in my hand. Excuse the audio and video quality, filmed on a sony cyber shot camera and couldn't find the tripod. (Yes I know it is a rather Useless vid for some, but there are those who have never seen it)
