Most modern grenades are offensive (HE) but I'm not convinced it would still work because of insensitive munitions standards requiring a low change of sympathetic detonation.
Stick but with removable handle because you can make those as integral bullet trap adapters for rifle grenades. When you shoot one you will appreciate how nice they are (and dummies are legal but you have to make them yourself).
Not large, but it was designed for city clearing. It takes a fuck load of grenades to clear a building, so the idea was they would make them as small as possible so that the troops could carry enough.
Always has been, since the invention of the Mills bomb.
Modern tactics simply clear through with BD6 until you find contact and then kill the initial threat before grenade spamming (or for burgers with time and money artillery and air).
This. These are my absolute favorites based on looks alone and likely handiness. Never find out for myself though, born way too late for Vietnam and the Swedes stopped making them years ago apparently.
apparently the filipinos would replicate these by disassembling 40mm HE grenades, ripping the black powder 'cap' off of a practice grenade fuze, crimping a stubby commercial cap in its place, and cross threading it into the 40mm frag ball. they used them as anti-pursuit grenades.
Cute, what's the effective radius tho?
functionally identical to a 40mm grenade, since the frag ball is spherical.
Seen the blue one used for drone drops a lot. The bottom right one looks coolest.
Potato masher would look even cooler if it had spikes on it
it's missing the square RGT-27C

yeah I think we got a winner
It looks like old Motorola phone but I dare you to try use it this way.
Bottom right looks the best, it looks like a maid
DM11 for overkill vibes
>THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST
How would you make a modern version of this today
Doesn't this not work with modern frag grenades since the potato masher was more of a HE grenade?

Looks very unwieldy and difficult to throw
can't find any videos of them being thrown
It's a stick shape. Doesn't get much easier to throw than that.
>not stacking 15 of them and throwing it like a javelin
Butt plug?

>It is literally a tin can, changed into a hand grenade body.
lol
this for sure
i can imagine it not needing a lot of lube unlike most other grenades
maybe the tear gas grenade, but that is also not the optimal shape

i liek american lemons and french oranges, not a big fan of earlier pineaplles neither the later apples.
bottom right is perfect for maids
hentai!
Golf ball. You can fit like forty of these little fuckers in a fanny pack and still have room for your wallet.
Cute, what's the effective radius tho?
5 meters is the lethal range, 300 meters is dangerous range.
Not large, but it was designed for city clearing. It takes a fuck load of grenades to clear a building, so the idea was they would make them as small as possible so that the troops could carry enough.
So my STALKER strat of carrying over a 100 grenades and throwing one into every doorway is realistic room clearing tactic?

Could you make a cluster bomb from those for a quadcopter?
