      There is in fairness, not “no shrapnel”, there is a small- but actual chance of harmful secondary fragmentation hitting you. It isn’t that high, but it is higher than 0%, which is why I personally wouldn’t do it for just a photo op. But to say the person in the video has “no idea what he is doing” is to me, rubbish. He handles the grenade with practiced ease. I would guess this isn’t the first time he’s handled one of these grenades, which would also feed into why he isn’t afraid of the blast. It may technically be within a harmful range, but I’d guess that based on his past experience rather than his ignorance he is willing to do this.
