Explain what I mean by "grenade" and go down a rabbit hole!

| Sep 30, 2016 at 23:35 | comment | added | Schwern | @jpmc26 The answer is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but also to answer the "if not, why" part by examining the practical (and impractical) attempts to use mechanical energy to throw an explosive device. I expanded the answer to explain how I'm using "grenade", and also found a fascinating rabbit hole to run down: WWI trench catapults! | |
