The M67 can be thrown about 40 meters by the average soldier??? lol! I'd say something like 10 or 15 would be more reasonable.

While this article says this grenade was post-Vietnam, it was in use at least by 1971, and was referred to as the "baseball grenade" due to its round shape and size, similar to that of a baseball. I went thru basic and AIT during spring and summer of 1971, and was given the distinct impression that this model was indeed the current model in use and I never saw any other type of grenade either during training or while in country. 69.29.207.109 ( talk) 13:09, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
How about removing the History section? The article is about a specific hand grenade model, but the history section gives a generic overview of all grenades (which is largely replicated at Hand Grenade). I'll come back and remove it in a few days if there are no objections. Mark5677 ( talk) 05:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
I think that this is more along the lines of something out of the army training manual. This is an encyclopedia (well kinda but its considered one) and should have more information on the grenade and some history on it rather than how to use it. Its not like your average american gets their hands on one of these everyday if they ever can. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atvrider365 ( talk • contribs) 01:03, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Im no expert, but this puzzles me. Maybe they just did not have the skills to make better timers back then. It seems awfully long, more than enough to throw it back. If i would be close to a tank, lets say between 5 and 15 metres, i would want to set it somewhere between 0.5 and 2.5 seconds, depending on the distance and the throw i want to do.
Maybe someone does have knowledge about this? Why so long? With my current juggling skills and if i were to throw shrapnel grenades or stun grenades, i would appreciate a range between 0.6 and 3 seconds, with very small gradients inbetween, especially in the 0.6 to 1.5 second range. Does anyone know or have sources on why that timer is so long? There has to be a reason, technical or practical. 188.104.109.106 ( talk) 03:49, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
The Russians had and may still have a grenade where the fuse and detonator could be replaced simply unscrewing one and screwing in another. In other words the delay time could be changed. One of the choices was a delay time of 0.0 sec. Is that short enough for ya?! That delay was used as a booby trap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.32.39.11 ( talk) 16:37, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
http://www.stripes.com/improved-grenade-design-on-the-way-1.221102 Production on M67 grenades with this new feature has already begun and the grenades are already in the Army ammunition supply system, Cummings said. Soldiers should see them very soon.
The Overview claims that the fuse (M213) is a 3 second fuse. I looked at the reference, http://www.umass.edu/armyrotc/Training/grenades.pdf, and see that it claims that the delay is 4 - 5 seconds (other sources claim 4 - 5.5 s). I am changing it. Not sure if "3 second fuse" contradicts the delay time of 4 - 5.5 sec., but it sure doesn't inform anyone. Note that my change makes the Overview consistent with the table.
