When I was in the service, after the pull ring in a hand grenade was pulled and the handle was released you have 6 seconds to get rid of it. Throw it as far as you can and take cover.

Pull the pin, nothing. The pin can be put back in until the spoon on the grenade is released.
Release the spoon.....4-5 seconds

Two quotes from a mimeographed training sheet:
"Remember, once the pin is pulled Mr. Grenade is no longer our friend."
"Fuses in grenades that are supposed to last six seconds don't."

When I went through boot camp for the Marines back in 71 they told us our heads best be down by the time we could count to four.
