  The case will pop and throw shit everywhere. You could die, you could be injury free.

  The barrel is needed as the cartridge sits in one end precisely to stop it exploding outwards with pressure and instead propel the projectile down range.

    It just ensures that when it explodes with pressure it does so in the correct direction.

      Who are we to decide what the “correct” direction is?

  If you son’t care about the direction in which the bullet flies off, i suppose barrels don’t matter…

    Well, the bullet is the least of your worries in this scenario. The shrapnel from the exploding case however…

      Would the case really shrapnel though? If you don’t stand behind it, in front of it or anywhere around it, this may be fine.

      Maybe it would be better to just put metal bits around the powder and put a delay on the explosion… wait a second… fucking grenades always sneaking up on people

  It’s a perfectly safe grenade.

  Barrels help turn it into a gun.
