i was recently watching die hard 2 (not the best of the 3) on dvd. in the scene where john mclane is in the aircraft surrounded by baddies and the plane is shot up by them, they throw in some hand grenadesand when he realises this he gets in the pilots seat straps himself in end ejects out of the plane. surely he cann't have enough time from when they throw the first grenade and they explode to eject?????????????

prevents the handle from being released. To use the grenade, the user pulls the pin out of the grenade and throws it, releasing the spoon. Pulling the pin on a grenade requires a large amount of force, so the pin is removed by pulling with a finger rather than with the teeth as is shown in popular motion pictures. Before removing the pin, the soldier grips the grenade to prevent the handle being released at the same time. With the pin removed, the grenade is thrown, the handle is released, and a spring-loaded striker ignites a pyrotechnic delay element in the fuse. The delay burns for two to five seconds, and then activates the detonator, exploding the grenade.

Come on now, it is Die Hard and he is John McLane. Of course it is possible. The guy can do stuff that would make me die three to four times and get out of there with a few scratches. Surely he can be faster than a hand grenade.

Timephase grenades (aka pineapples), it's about 3 seconds from the time you pull the pin. P. O. grenades explode on impact, so they require hitting something or being struck on a hard surface.

Most grenades can be set to explode according to your personal taste, ie 3/5/7/9 seconds.

Varies with the grenade. Usually 2 to 5 seconds after the pin is pulled spoon drops off. Best to check your specs ahead of time. :-)

In my day, ( yes, I am an old timer ) it was eight seconds, strange thing about holding a grenade, it is both scary and thrilling. Make of that what you will.!!!!

it varies. if you check out Robocop, that lasts for at least 10 seconds before it blows up. But having never actually tested one I couldn't say for sure
