M69 Practice Hand Grenade
HAND GRENADE GRIPPING PROCEDURES
The importance of properly gripping the hand
grenade cannot be overemphasized. Soldiers
must understand that a grenade not held
properly is difficult to arm. Sustainment training
is the key to maintaining grip efficiency. Holding
the grenade in the throwing hand with the safety
lever placed between the first and second joints
of the thumb provides safety and throwing
efficiency. Gripping procedures differ slightly for
right- and left-handed Soldiers. Remember
acquire target hold the spoon, pull safety clip off,
pull pin, then throw!
Right-handed Soldiers
Right-handed Soldiers hold the grenade upright with the pull ring away from the
palm of the throwing hand so that the pull ring can be easily removed by the index or
middle finger of the free hand (Figure 3-3).
Left-handed Soldiers
Left-handed Soldiers invert the grenade with the fingers and thumb of the
throwing hand positioned in the same manner as by right-handed personnel (Figure 3-4).
