Pulling A Grenade Pin With Your Teeth

Perhaps the second-most misinterpreted weapon in movies after weapons is the grenade, particularly in those that deal with conflict in any way. If grenades were to be believed, they would either be huge, earth-shattering bombs or insignificant perturbations that might just as well be disregarded.

They actually function more like an area-of-effect weapon designed to temporarily disable anyone within a close range by scattering shrapnel, though. Furthermore, pulling a grenade pin out with your teeth, as depicted by movie warriors, is absurdly challenging — if not impossible.

The pins on the majority of the grenades used in modern warfare aren't really designed to be so simple to pull out because else you risk inadvertently blowing yourself up. But, it depends on the model. For instance, removing the pin from an American M67 grenade requires around 3-5 kg of power, which, if attempted, may easily result in tooth damage.
