calling fake[/QUOTE]
So I was wrong about it being fake, it is a real image but it gave that impression from a few things since yes, it has been gone over a ton in photoshop, the guy who took it has a heap of images that all have that weird lens/filter combo that gives it this sort of look

Speaking of grenades, could/would they even explode if you shot them?

Most explosives wont explode unless armed. An old army buddy of my dad used to start fires with unarmed dynamites.

which aren't used in any hand grenades ever. Old ones use stuff like TNT but new ones use stuff like Comp B, which require an explosion to set off.
In theory if you struck the sensitive explosives in the detonator it might but the force of the bullet moving through the outer shell and filler would probably blow it apart before it could detonate

TV Tropes taught me that soldiers used to use C4 as a makeshift fuel for cooking.
While researching that, I also discovered that if you [I]do[/I] do that, you have to remember to be very very careful about how close you are and what parts of you are protected.

[QUOTE=mastfire;43894376]are you saying bedbugs haves wings?[/QUOTE]
I am not an expert on bedbugs, but I would assume they indeed sport a pair of wings.
However be reminded, that having something doesn't actually give you the ability to do something with it.
Many bugs have degenerated wings that can hardly lift them up, in many cases they cannot do it at all.

If you've ever held a grenade, they're typically made of really thick steel, so a properly placed AP round hitting the fusing system could set it off without tearing it apart. The chance of this is incredibly low though. Also the shockwave in a high explosive is usually way higher than the highest velocity bullets. 1,000m/s is really fast for a bullet, while 6-7,000m/s is about average for detonation velocity in HE.

The shockwave though doesn't transmit very well through air as the explosive filled disintegrates

always thought it was odd seeing a hardpoint on top of the wing like that, rather than under it.
