Well , let's see. Carbine guy has one hand around stock and the other around the triggerguard area. The MG'er looks to be fishing the belt up out of the box and the MG looks to be unloaded at this time. The rifleman has his rife slung . The grenader has one hand filled with a grenade and the other around the carbine stock. If someone was to pop around the corner , they'd all be in deep do-do.

I'm estimating the expected blast vectors if the grenade goes about fifteen feet down the tunnel, including the ricochets, and I'm thinking that he's just about perfect to avoid the blast cone and any out-of-sight snipers in the tunnel. But that's just me. Of course, I took a few worse chances in my youth... ;^)

I don't think so...They've all done this before. If there were a problem, they'd do it different. And yes, like Bob say's it could be worse!

We are only seeing three Marines in this small shot.
I'm sure they have support you can't see. JMHO.....Frank
