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. ;)
 
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 :D

If your too close to throw a grenade, you can use it as a baton so there are multiple useages for that design :roll:
 
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."
 
I voted Potatomasher grende (german grenade) Because it is has a long distance
 
Those Italian grenades were strange looking.

Click on this site and choose a flag. You'll be amazed and amused at what some countries used as grenades. When you go to the end of the country flags, you'll find a link called "grenade manuals" which shows some construction. Every picture that pops up is clickable to further info on the different grenades.
