| Master Gunner | Yeah that Japanese grenade was a real good one. It required a sharp smack to be armed so Japanese troops repeatedly smacked it on their own helmets before throwing - a sound the American GIs quickly came to recognize and take appropriate actions for. Just call me a Hawaiian and give me my pineapples.

| Forum Barbecuer | The German one, I remember my dad did carve one for me in wood while being a kid - we did some long throws with that one If your too close to throw a grenade, you can use it as a baton so there are multiple useages for that design

| Nuclear Duck Hunter | I trained with the pineapple in the Army and they were pretty heavy. The German grenade on a stick (sounds like a State fair snack) afforded more leverage for distance but were too big to carry many per man. I'd probably stick with the German "potato masher."
