Grenades maybe?[/quote:7d975]

Yeah there definatly was grenades, than again maybe you can only have so many grenades in a combat load i dunno maybe im just talking out of my ass eek:[/quote:7d975]

well, we do see the Dalta Force guy throw a grenade into a window,
but I think the main reasons for no grenades are:

1. ROE, it would look terrible for PR if the troops blew up that lady with her 6-8 kids with a nade
2. "we'll only be gone one hour"; the Rangers were only supposed to cover Delta for a few minutes and then exfil on the convoy, they were not supposed to go into buildings, that was Delta's job. Which is why Delta troopers have throwing grenades but Rangers only have M-203 launched grenades, they were expected to do their fighting at a distance.
