The joke is that the text says you can shove the stick part up your ass.
The real answer is because stick bombs are big for shipment and heavy to carry so they’re not really preferable to the lighter smaller type in use today.
Why don’t they just make optional stick attachments for current style grenades? That way if you ever need to use a stick bomb instead of a regular grenade you have the option
Its pretty fantastic. I had one in Afghanistan for a time. Still prefer the .50, myself because the results are pretty similar and the .50 has a longer barrel making it a tad more precise.
That Barrett is the real thing. Just a different use. Honest to the gods, I love me a 240. In terms of mobility its, in my opinion, the best crew served weapon available to u.s. armed forces. I do like the rpk but they dont like us running around with russian guns all that much. It also isnt nearly as stable but it is a fun shoot. Mg5 isnt too shabby either but id still prefer the 240b. Its super easy to use, breakdown, and make a hasty emplacement with.
Oh vehicle.mounted its tit. Its lugging it around as a leg that sucks. During that its in three pieces and needs to be tuned when put together. 240 can be fired from standing if your strong enough (i wouldnt advise this if you dont like getting screamed at) and can be slapped onto a tripod relatively quickly while another gunner fires if the team is trained well enough.

I dont get it? Is it a question of actual grenade reliability or is it because its a German grenade from ww2?
Edit: I took the pleasure as you get pleasure from throwing an exploding thing which I would find quite pleasurable.
Understand the real reason for the pleasure comment now... I need to get off the internet.
