Hand grenade warnings given by Fukuoka police in response to a surge in grenade tossing yakuza attacks, urging anyone encountering a grenade not to kick or tread on it, have lately been perplexing many.
Some helpful snippets from the colourful page:
“Beware hand grenades!”
“Hand grenades are weapons designed to kill people by propelling shrapnel!”
“They come in various colours and shapes!”
“If you discover a hand grenade:
Absolutely do not tread on, touch or kick it
Immediately move away from the hand grenade
Save yourself by hiding behind cover“
Reportedly there have been an increased number of crimes involving grenades in Fukuoka (although as this is Japan this could just mean “a crime”), unsurprisingly all yakuza-related.
One such incident was in April, where a witness reported seeing something which looked like a grenade near a yakuza office, whilst earlier that month a pair of yakuza hoodlums blew themselves up in a car after mishandling a grenade, apparently intending to attack the offices of another syndicate.
Japanese observers are bemused by the sudden onset of urban warfare in Kyushu:
“What is this, Mexico?”
“What kind of a warning is that?”
“How are you supposed to warn about a grenade – ‘Ah! Grenade!!!’ < by this time it’s too late…”
“What about that kiddy font…”
“‘Don’t tread on, touch or kick’ – the three rules of hand grenade safety, somehow I think we can do without those.”
“Had I not seen this article I would not have known – the thread starter saved my life!”
“We are talking about Japan here, right?”
“200m is a big radius for shrapnel… if you can actually see one it is not looking good for you.”
“How would you throw it anywhere and then get 200m away before it went off?”
“Serious injury within 50m must be a lie.”
“I expect people will start carrying bats to hit them away…”
“Thanks to FPSes everyone thinks these things have a tiny range.”
“Next episode! A sudden increase in crimes involving AK-47s! AK-47s are assault rifles designed to kill people by firing bullets!”

"What is this, Mexico?"
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Ah... Sorry.
THIS IS... Do I have to continue?
yes! don't leave us hanging like that!@_@
Nic Cage: FUCK MEXICO
How'd it get burned?
Sparta!? o_0"
not funny. Never was, never will.
THIS..
IS..
SPARTAAA!!!
“Serious injury within 50m must be a lie.”
I like how people who don't know what they are talking about talk....
“How would you throw it anywhere and then get 200m away before it went off?”
This one should first learn the differences between Offensive and Defensive grenades....
Thank god I read this before I ever found a grenade. I always thought you were suppose to play hacky sack with grenades.
Kazuma Kiryu can't help you now :P

" Call of Fukuoka: Yakuza Wars "
"If we do happen to find a live grenade, Sir, what do we do?"
"Normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump two hundred feet in the air and scatter oneself over a large area."
Black Adder, isn't it? I haven't seen the show in ages, so can't say for sure
Lol
Sir you make my stomach hurt so much I now know how it feels to give birth
you sure that wasn't just you taking a particularly painfull shit? You might wanna go and check those pants.
K for one, Grenades DO NOT have a 200m blast radius. that is how far shrapnel can travel, the actual kill radiaus is ONLY 60 FEET still a really big kill radius, but definitely not 200 meters. that is based on the M67 hand grenade, currently being used by armed forces all around the world. but that's really not cool that the Yakuza are using grenades. I mean, come on, they're country is going to shit, and they're still concentrated on gaining controll over the streets. A single CIA sweeper squad could wipe them ALL out.
A CIA sweeper squad are the Agents who wipe people off the face of earth.
Yes, america's military might is so effective that after years and billions of dollars they still havent gotten the guy behind 9/11.
Its beyond me why people still take that joke of a country seriously in conflict, when the majorty of their forces are made up of drug addicts, criminals, and other people who couldnt get a real job.
Because that 'minority' of our forces are actually pretty effective.
Also, why would the CIA want the Yakuza gone? They make great informants.
"Yes, america's military might is so effective that after years and billions of dollars they still havent gotten the guy behind 9/11."
That hasn't anything to do with might...?
Well sure we haven't got him yet. But we have blown up a lot of stuff all over the place. A LOT.
Plus we have been responsible, directly or indirectly, for killing or maiming hundreds of thousands of people, some of whom were innocent bystanders.
Keep mocking us and we just may come to your house, smash your computer, piss on your anime, manga, and game collection, and shove some DEMOCRACY up your ass -- whether you want it or not.
“I expect people will start carrying bats to hit them away…” or kick them.
This is not the movies where they have plenty of time to hit/kick a fake grenade out of harms way, in RL you run or take cover for your fucking life.
I'm offended by the "What is this, Mexico" comment, everyone here knows how to handle a grenade, and others simply run away from them.
That comment probably actually meant something as "We are living in Japan, a country with a low crime rate and strict regulations against weapon, unlike a certain country with one of the highest crime rate. Grenade won't just appear on the ground out of the blue like that, such paranoia!"
@Philo
I'm sorry but I'm not sure if Mexicans should be happy or angry with what you posted XD
Unless by everyone you mean SanCom then yes we do know(probably)
I don't think that person meant Mexicans do not know what a grenade is. I think he was referring to the widespread urban warfare in Mexico.
What's your definition of "widespread"? anything reported on tv news? By that standar, if I saw a report about hookers who have sons and daughters in CNN, that would mean everybody's mom is a hooker in the USA, right?
@Elcacheton
Get out of Mexico city and you'll see how widespread it is.
Sure it's not everyday stuff, but often enough to make everyone stay on their toes.
Note that big cities are the least affected, small towns and villages is where most of the big conflicts happen.
Hundreds of people got themselves killed by Los Zetas ALONE, every year.
What he meant is that Mexico is such a dangerous place that grenades is a part of normal daily life, which would warrant a grenades PSA more than a relatively more peaceful Japan. Considering the constant rivalry between drug trafficking lords, and the battle between drug lords AND THE GODDAMN ARMY, he pretty much nailed it.
Bueno, los mayores consumidores de drogas son los gringos.
Gringos or not, international trafficking isn't the only cause for killings of your own people. Rival cartels have been fighting amongst themselves to take over certain places in your own fucking country. Your government wouldn't have to deploy the military to stave off drug traffickers if they're just exporting that shit.
Yet backward idiots like you are so quick to blame on gringos. Drug lord militiamen is very much a Mexican problem but you choose to turn a blind eye and point fingers at someone else. You're an insult to my rational South American friends.
Imbecilos...
Así que mejor dejen de decir MAMADAS
O controlen sus drogas mejor y no habria drogas para consumir, eh?
My spelling sucks, deal with it. 8)
No seas pendejo Alexeon, mientras la gente quiera zapatos, siempre existitan los zapateros. Las drogas están limitadísimas; que mejor controlen a sus pinches adictos.
Dios mio..............si no hay demanda no hay oferta, asi que la culpa es de los que quieren el vicio, si nadie quisiera drogas, nadie las produciria.
Pero claro todo lo justificamos con precelitismo y siemrpe culpamos a los que generan la nesecidad que un consumidor exige.
Lastima que muchos se escuden su adiccion a las drogas culpando a quienes las crean cuando quienes las consumen son el problema.
para todo lo demas, esta mastercard.
@Elcachetondelpuro
in mexico, drug lords fight each other and the army over drug traffic, in USA STUDENTS take machine guns and blow the fuck off classmates for no real reason...
...in soviet Russia, happens both...
@21:54 Anon
"Bueno, los mayores consumidores de drogas son los gringos."
Does that justify our poor moral and ethic values to seek personal gain at the expense of our fellow countrymen whom we kidnap, extort and terrorize??
We alone sought the shit that we live today. It's nobody else's fault, and we alone will have to make our way out of it or die trying.
--Spanish---
Y eso justifica nuestros pobres valores morales y éticos para buscar el bien personal a costa de nuestros compatriotas a quienes secuestramos, extorsionamos y aterrorizamos??
Nosotros nos buscamos la mierda que nos ha tocado vivir, no es culpa de nadie más, y nosotros solos tendremos que solucionar esto o pereceremos en el intento.
@23:20 Anon
"Drug lord militiamen is very much a Mexican problem"
So paramilitary colombians where a lie all along? They just 'pretended' for pictures in the newspapers huh?
And it's not like they cooperate with the colombian cartels to produce the cocaine that passes through Mexico in order to fund their motives, right?
"You're an insult to my rational South American friends"
How so? Mexico is not part of South America, it is, however, part of Latin America.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_America
Get your head out of your ass. You're an insult to my Anglosphere native friends.
You are simply basing yourselves upon what you believe he meant, yet we can never know for sure, still, I still find it insulting to make a comparison.
I think it doesn't mean mexicans don't know about grenades but more like there are grenade warnings on posters. It's like Japan is Mexico, where the drug gangs are fighting the army on the streets. The posters will be right in place over there.
You can't run from a frag. When it hits the ground, you have about 1 second. You either fall on the ground with your head facing away from the thing or don't move if you already are in cover.
The effective kill radius of standard issue frag is well over 10m. You simply do not have the time to run.
This post should be accompanied with the song
Bruno Mars - Grenade
taking a direct hit from a grenade wont kill you, you'd have at least 10hp left.
only if u buy the helmet+kevlar...
still dead if it explode on your face
Head shot!
Drop on the ground is the best way to avoid.
then you'd need potions!
You mean health packs/med kits.
Or just avoid taking further damage until the red border around your vision fades away.
or enter a cave(hidden passage) and hope to find a fairy fountain.
The jeans I bought yesterday also had 'absorb physical damage' passive skill on it so grenade explosions should actually heal me instead.
Or scream out loud in your radio : "MEDIC!!!"
It's all cool I already have a phoenix down on me..
Nowadays you'd just be seeing black and white and have a ringtone in your ear for a while. Ignore it and carry on with your shopping.
press R2 throw it back.
It's L2 on my controller
R2 is for shooting :p
