Black powder grenades are the great grand parents of the modern hand grenades we are all familiar with today. Before the days of fancy mechanical-pyrotechnic fuses, steel bodies, and high explosives, our ancestors tossed primitive hulls full of black powder and hoped for the best. Someone asked us to see if these things would work long ago. Well, we finally got to testing out how effective these primitive black powder grenades really are. We made a bunch of these black powder grenades and testing their fragmentation abilities as well as how effective they are as as battle field weapon. I guess this makes us now history experts on ancient weapons.

I know we sort of did these grenades out of sequence by jumping right to iron hulled grenades. Believe it or not, working with ceramics to make usable spheres out of clay isn't not the easiest. Jake is channeling his inner artistic side to work on making clay grenades for the next video. So, now that we have tested out these primitive grenades, what other ancient explosive devices do people want to see recreated for scientific/entertainment purposes?

Early grenades had lead balls included in the filling in addition to the powder which probably increased the fragmentation effect. The word "grenade" is derived from the word "pomegranate" because the weapon is basically the same shape as the fruit and the lead balls inside resemble its seeds. Guess you get to revisit this sometime in the future...

It was really more like a modern riot with 2 sides forming a line than a Hollywood movie. Throwing a grenade behind the enemy soldiers would force them to advance forward and cross into the other side's line where they'd be attacked while they're being pushed by the tightly packed group of men behind them. We can all imagine how easy it would be to swing a sword and shield around like fencers but its not so easy when all the guys behind you are shoving into you, pushing your arms and shoulders while in front of you there's a line of men who are unobstructed by people behind them pushing and shoving them. If a relatively small meteor slammed into Hollywood and destroyed the whole area, we'd enter into a golden age of understanding history as a bunch of entertainers wouldn't be re-writing how life and warfare worked in centuries past. There are exceptions like Napoleon but most battles were characterized more by hesitation rather than bloodthirsty reckless charges. That's also why it was easy to know who to stab or slash since your side surrounded you in every direction but straight ahead.

Grenades of that type were popular in the Navies of the time, especially the British Royal Navy. They were thrown from the crow's nests on the masts down onto the the main deck where the fighting was going on. Also, the wooden decks of the ships would have meant that the grenades bounced & rolled around, and unlike dirt, they would not have absorbed the energy of the explosion.

As someone who has studied French & Indian War history, was a reenactor who spent time as a British Grenadier, I can tell you the whole point of the grenades was to try and throw them so that they would explode in the air above the enemy's heads, not on the ground. Grenadiers would have been trained how to time their throw from lighting the fuse to get the best estimate to get the grenade to explode in mid air. There are several fragments and even a couple of original unexploded grenades that have been made safe for display that are from the time period here in a couple different museums and your copies are spot on in appearance.

@@kmech3rdwhen I used to do reenacting, we had dummy grenades made up for us. It was a black Bacci ball with a hole drilled in about halfway about 2 inches in diameter. We would take a row of small firecrackers, line the hole with them and tape a cannon fuse over that. When done right, the fuse would light all the firecrackers at the same time and you would get one loud "pop". You cut the fuse to a certain length, timed it so when you threw it your knew when to chuck it. I got pretty good and was able to usually get it to go off about 4 feet from the ground. I would have to imagine the hardest part with the Grenadiers of the time would be the inconsistency of the fuses.
@ryelor123
@ryelor123 9 дней назад
I kind of doubt that. The grenades would be much more effective if they got people to panic and run causing a crush or a disorganized group moving forward into a prepared line. At least that's how it would be done in the age of swords. The fragmentation is too little to do much damage if they explode overhead, the fuses were too unreliable to risk it, and the benefit wouldn't be there since people wouldn't flee forward or retreat when stuff is exploding above them. I'm not saying there weren't risky grenadiers who did that but I don't think it would've served practical purpose. Remember that until recently a battle was a couple crowds of people and, as we know from tragic incidents in the past and recently in Korea, the most dangerous thing for a crowd of people to do is panic and trample each other. That was the objective of grenadiers. Its was rarely the case in history that the intent in a battle was to kill as many people as possible directly. The real goal would've been to spook the crowd so that they'd be spending too much time shoving and trampling each other to actually stand and fight or advance.
@harrypeterson9287
@harrypeterson9287 6 месяцев назад
Did you make sure the fuse was centered in the hull? Ignition from the top would greatly reduce the actual brisance (if you can call it brisance) of black powder. This is very true with cricket bombs as well. It just takes a few wraps of foil or aluminized tape to prevent early ignition. Trust me, notably better results with low explosives when ignited from the very center.

The Grenadiers of the 1700s used grenades about 15cm across, and were meant to "flood the zone" in line order. That would be hard to replicate on the range, as would the 18th century infantry formations in either closed or open ranks. These are concepts likely to confuse the modern RCMP, as they appear to be disinclined to enter into disputations of the Punic wars..
@ryelor123
@ryelor123 9 дней назад
When you have 2 crowd of people, your first objective is not to kill the enemy but instead to make their ranks turn into a crush. Then the ones in the front will be impeded by the men behind them shoving them forward. Makes battle much easier. The problem we have today is we don't actually know how warfare occurred in the past since Hollywood has tried to turn every battle into either a free-for-all or two unwavering crowds of people who are somehow incapable of violating the personal space of those around them. In fact, I'd wager that one of the main reasons for body armor was less so to protect one's self from the enemy and instead as personal protection from one's own side as the men with pointy objects behind and to your sides may be involuntarily shoved into you by those behind them. If you want to know how most historical battles occurred with unprofessional armies, then you have to look at human nature in similar situations. Riots and protests show how battles would usually be carried out where 2 sides formed a line and the objective of both sides was to finagle members of the other side into irrationally advancing and thus getting surrounded.

Video ideas: 1. I don't think it's very fair to blame black powder for the shortcomings of these grenades, so I propose you do a video comparing M67's with all types of different fillers. I'm talking black powder, BP substitute, smokeless, flash powder, etc. and maybe seeing if you can get hooked up with a few of those ballistic torsos with the fake skeletons and organs to really see how they stack up apples to apples. 2. Veteran Arms makes repro 18th century grenade launchers these things would work with and I bet that would make for some good content since you actually have the range and permission slips to do it.

@tfinnegans_wake6182 5 месяцев назад
Agreed. It isn't as much about the energetic source, ie BP vs HE, as it is about the ineffective/inefficient delivery of shrapnel...which is *the* goal. Want more "hits" on target(s)? More shrapnel in the air. Sidenote...the shape of the shrapnel in BP grenades like this is equally important. Flat/flatter pieces tend to slow down rapidly, as well as "bounce" off vs penetrate, as witnessed in this video. Grenades, even modern versions, can perform very unpredictably.

@sinisterthoughts2896
@sinisterthoughts2896 6 месяцев назад
It is more brittle, but thays the rub. Steel holds out longer, so when it pops there is more energy, which tends the shred the steel finer. With the cast it is likely it will crack on a seem line in the crystals and yield before more pressure is built up that could break the stronger bits. So you end up with a few big pieces going slower vs evenly distributed little pieces at high velocity.

So thanks a lot guys,your work is valuable. On second thought,since these were used when tight formations were common, and throwing range is limited,these would have been used just before a bayonet charge,I think. So just after a last volley fire, a grenade volley,then bayonet charge while grenades going off,adding to the chaos,shock,breaking up order, and unit cohesion just before a bayonet charge,would add to it's effect,I think. I can't imagine soldiers just standing ground,and keeping formation while 2-4 feet in front of them a grenade's fuse is about to burn inside the body.
