Norwegian troops with G3 variant rifles were training when the throw man doesn’t quite make it with his flashbang. This is exactly the kind of thing training is for, and hey, they got a good laugh out of it. I know I did :).

He will NEVER hear the end of that. I once had a PVT bounce a flash bang off the edge of a doorway and back into the stack. In his defense he was new and already nervious handling the thing.
We all stood there, rooted to our places, for what seemed like a long time watching the thing sputter then everyone ran in different directions like cockroaches seeking cover. Or little girls. Yeah… more like little girls, complete with shreeking and arm failing.
You or someone with your sense of humour, should contact the people over at the Ranger Up website. This video is delightfully hilarious, and one of the troopies is defininitly a candidate for Douchebag of the Week award.
Maybe even (dare I say it?) Keeper Of The Dick, NATO sub group.
“Just remember, once the pin has been pulled, Mr. Flashbang is no longer your good friend.”

Hmmmm…..
Translating from Norwegian:
‘You are officially a fumble fingered fuckwit.’
‘Nominate him for the next Darwin Award.’
‘Seeing as how you’re dead, you won’t mind if we empty your wallet at the bar tonight, right?’
‘We send you to Asscrackistan, and the Taliban will laugh themselves to death.’
‘Next time, just throw Private Whooops into the room, O.K.?’
‘Somebody go find my retinas; they ran out the back door screaming.’
‘Little more practice needed, I think.’
‘Guess what’s gonna happen next time you get to BANG your girlfriend?’
‘Do absolutely NOT let that man near the kitchen; he could kill an entire company with one meal.’
‘What’s next? – You’re going to show us how to organize a fuckup in a whorehouse?’
‘Wile E. Coyote got married and has a son, and its YOU.’
‘Hope you don’t have sex the way you handle grenades; you’ll never get it in.’
Say, Fanboy?
