I play this game airsoft (like paintball) and I like to go especially on beautiful days like today. It's so much cardio and you don't even notice it. Anyways, this Canadian company makes these really innovative reusable bang grenades and I finally learned how to toss them just right to clear out rooms. In movies the badass hero makes perfect throws without even thinking. But turns out in real life having your gun in your main hand, pulling the thing out with your non dominant hand, pulling a pin, and then getting it throug an opening, while hoping and praying nobody gets the jump on you is really really hard. Before this I would blow myself up, or forget to pull the pin. Oops.

So true, it really is amazing that you don't even notice the exercise when combining it with something funny/purposeful.
I was in a milsim game some years ago, in a room at a military training site with my mate, and suddenly we see something thrown inside the room, and we just know that we gotta get out, so we scramble for the door only to get stuck shoulder to shoulder getting shot in the back by a guy in the window.
The "grenade" was a brick .. :)

The correct way is to have your team cover you and throw with your dominant hand.
