Let’s talk about frags & C4...

[kepiluna2]

Did a little bit of half assed internet research since our good buddy/worst enemy C4 got nerfed. I know a lot of people are upset about the reduction in throwing distance...but let’s look at a few numbers...

A standard M67 frag grenade weighs 14 oz (.4 kg). For comparison a standard baseball weighs around 5 oz (.142 kg).

A standard M112 demolition block of C4 weighs 1.25 lb (.57 kg) and has a dimension of 2” x 1.5” x 11” (5.08 cm x 3.81 cm x 27.94 cm). You might think to yourself, “See, that’s not too bad! It only weighs a little bit more than a frag...”. That would be fine and dandy if you were only throwing one small demolition block at a time.

However, M112 demolition blocks are commonly packaged together into a satchel of 16 blocks. This satchel would weigh 20 lb (9.072 kg) and have dimension of roughly 8” x 6” x 11” (20.32 cm x 15.24 cm x 27.94 cm).


Let’s take an average bowing ball. We are probably looking at 8 lb to 12 lb (3.629 kg to 5.433 kg). For arguments sake let’s settle on 10 lb (4.536 kg). Now imagine picking that ball up and chucking it as far as you can. Now double the weight and do it again. Now imagine doing it with one arm and just a nice little flick of the wrist...

Honesty, this nerf is far overdue and should go a long way to bringing other lethals back into a solid rotation.

Thank you for listening to my TedTalk.
