In yet another Tofflerian physical erosion of infantry firepower, the USMIL has large High Explosive (HE) and very nasty White Phosphorous (WP) rifle grenades sitting unused in storage and refuses to buy new ones that all you need to do is place them on the end of your long arm (weapon, normies), aim & fire--they are BULLET TRAP or BULLET-THRU. The U.S. ARMY has Launched Grappling Hooks (LGHs) to pull enemy trip wires and the Israeli Rafael "Simon" 120 RLEM breach rifle grenades collecting dust--no carry pouches for LGHs or RLEMs.

Weak, palm-sized 40mm grenades vs. Rifle Grenades & RPGs--guess who has combat overmatch? Not us. Our disposible rockets lack dedicated gunners to get good at hitting what they need to. Hence "14-hour firefights" that should only last 14 seconds because our force structure is dominant.

Number one is the sheer ineffectiveness of the too small caliber [5.56mm] rounds our troops are issued on many of the adversaries encountered, and number two is that if not for our M1 Abrams [heavy] tanks and air/arty support many of our outgunned infantry units would have easily been overran in many of the urban settings this fight is taking place in. While many of the local insurgents and occasionally the foreign fighters really don’t know how to fight, some have learned that U.S. infantry squads are ill equipped to respond to RPG volley fire and properly-executed ambushes.
Several new rifle launched grenades have been introduced in recent years that move this type of weapons system up in the hierarchy of modern infantry weapons.
Modern spigot launched grenades are designed to fit a 22mm diameter launcher. This set-up was first utilized by NATO, and appears to now be the international standard.
Many of the currently issued modern rifle grenades are listed as having a 400+ meter range and a larger kill/wound radius than the [tiny] rounds fired by the issued M203.
One of these new grenades is the REFAIM Advanced Infantry Weapons System being developed by Israel Military Industries. Refaim uses an air-burst, telescopic, bullet trap rifle grenade with point detonation, time delay and self destruct functions. The fragmentation charge is optimized against infantry targets but can also penetrate vehicles and windows by utilizing a short time delay, thereby maximizing the effect behind or within cover. While our DOD is spending millions developing the OICW system requiring a completely new weapon to be developed, a Refaim system can be mounted on current M16/M4 rifles. A laser range finder and computer tells the soldier the range to target and the Soldier can then program the round to detonate at a desired range as impact or airburst. Special rounds with imbedded cameras and com links are available to retrieve intel while in flight and CS rounds are already available. This would appear to be much more cost efficient and since it’s already available could be deployed now instead of waiting for another 10 years.

Swiss Rifle Grenades in Action

James Bond movies depict rifle grenades by S.P.E.C.T.R.E. in "Dr. NO", and Communist Soldiers pelting 007 and Kara in "The Living Daylights" who escape by armored sports car--

If we were smart (USMIL is not; it's an un-professional bureaucracy) we'd create a COMBINATION stick hand grenade & rifle grenade because German stick grenades can be thrown 10 meters farther than baseball hand grenades and don't roll down hill if you want them to explode on ground above you.

Nihilists have an aversion to death--to put it mildly. However, the Soldier if he does his DUTY WELL and combat OVERMATCHES the enemy must develop superior Tactics, Techniques, Procedures, Environment, Enemy, Equipment (TTPE3)--this means tinkering with and fielding things like rifle hand grenades.

We have a SERIOUS MORAL KOLLAPSE problem in the WOKETARD-korrupted USMIL when nihilist disdain for following ANY laws, rules and regulations results in gyrenes just sitting as their amphibious tractor (AMTRACK) aka swimming tank slowly sinks; as the sea water rises from their ankles to their waists. 9x sitting there as their AMTRACK sinks to the sea bottom and them dying by drowning is horrendous--they refused to do their DUTY or PRESERVE THEMSELVES. This deadly Kinetic war stuff is instead a mental fantasy video game and they'll just "re-spawn"? Earth is flat, right?
