Dudes hands are gone if they detonates. Do they really have giant bomb suits but no gloves?
The suit is there to reduce fatalities and minimize injuries, not to avoid every poasible injury.
Sometimes there are situations where touch and feel is critical, although my understanding is that the preferred approach today is remote detonation where even the suit is away from the likely blast radius.
Most of the times my favorite approach is not to be a bomb expert. To this day it has not failed me yet
Thank you for your service 🫡
Remote detonation sounds much safer.
EoD guys looked at all available military possible and said "nah I want one with real risk."
Gloves are useless, and you need fine motor control anyway.
I totally get that, working previously in kitchens and being told to wear gloves...I never did because screw that
I just assumed that dealing with bombs wouldn't be a one-time incident scenario.
... You're comparing a kitchen (sanitary) to a bomb exploding? Gloves will not protect you from a bomb. Anything that would would be far too large and unwieldly to use when trying to diffuse a bomb.
Actually not wearing gloves and washing your hands regularly is, I believe, generally bettee for sanitation. There’s a lot of false confidence and shit with gloves, and they cost money and are technically a limited resource. You should always have them on hand, especially for if you get cut and need to wear a bandaid, but washing your hands as needed is totally fine.
And as it relates to this conversation they have a point in that gloves fucking suck to wear. They’re weirdly sticky and also even tight ones are like wearing loose skin and it just kinda sucks. Again, super great to have around and they can be awesome for some tasks where you just do not want to have to do anything more than removing the glove and rinsing, but the point stands.
Why did everyone shift to sanitation when this post was about fucking bombs.
I'm no bomb tech but I don't think you're supposed to fuck them
You can't tell me what to do!
You literally brought it up. I even explained how the other person was not talking about sanitation so that it was clear that it was you who did so. I understood them the first time just fine.
You’re being, like, turbo-stupid right now. Cut it out.
No I brought up that gloves are no use when a fucking bomb goes off.
Look I know these threads are wack when we get to deep and memory fails even the best of us, it’s fine.
- Fiivemacs asked about why no gloves.
- You said they needed the fine motor skills
- Fiivemacs agreed with you, citing the kitchen thing(and by extention how they hamper fine motor skills.
- You made it about sanitation, didn’t want to be corrected, and then asked why we were all talking about sanitation.
That’s all there is to it.
Seriously?

Fiivemacs asked about why no gloves.

I said because they are useless, with the context that they would be useless when a fucking bomb goes off. Useless against a bomb. Because that's what the post is about. A bomb. JFC. In addition the small side point is you need the fine motor control to diffuse a bomb. A bomb. Because that's what the fucking thread is about.

Fiivemacs brings up a kitchen. A kitchen. Where 99.9% of glove use is sanitary. JFC.
-
And I responded wtf are you bringing up sanitary kitchen use (yes he brought it up, because 99.9% of kitchen use is sanitary) when the discussion is about gloves not helping when a fucking bomb goes off. JFC. Because that's what this was about, gloves not protecting when a fucking bomb goes off.
Like JFC. 95% of the point was because gloves are no help when a fucking bomb goes off. The 5% side point was you also need dexterity. If he wants to talk about the 5% side point, and then talk about kitchen where 99.9% of glove use is sanitary, then he needs to be crystal clear that no he's talking about the 5% side point, and then talking about the 0.1% side point of that which is not about sanitary, because 99.9% of glove use on the kitchen is for fucking sanitary.
JFC. Why do I bother with this. Have at your next misreading and attack, I'm out.
*And you doubled down on talking about sanitary for some fucking reason. AFTER I said "Gloves will not protect you from a bomb". Because that's what this was about "Gloves will not protect you from a bomb". Holy fucking JFC. I'm out.
You not understanding Fiivemacs point and visciously ignoring my entire explanation on it is really just telling me you’re far too up your own ass for any kind of reasonable conversation.
I’m spoon-feeding this to you and you’re still not getting it. Credit goes elsewhere but “we seem to have reached the limit of your comprehension”.

In my REPLY, yes I'm comparing wearing gloves, to wearing gloves because they are identical after being explained that they both decrease your fine motor movements.
I mean when they're defusing larger bombs the suit wouldn't help at all, it's literally do or die
