If one fired an M-79 round "too close", it would simply impact with
a thud and no "boom".
Presenting a possible problem for the ordinance disposal folks who
came along later but no particular problem for the firer.
In a similar incident described to me by a cow-orker the firer
simply put a rock on top of the grenade and theywent on their
way.
