I always thought the "hand" part of "hand grenade" referred to it's throwability, not to diamond hands 💎👐

Just wait until they see the tree-shaped missiles loaded with many of these!

Swiss grenade? Am I missing something? Do we have an internationally recognized kind of grenade? My conscript time wasn't in the Infantry so I never had any.

They claimed it was an HG-85 fragmentation grenade.

Really different

With an extra layer added for more shrapnel. Which is dumb. Fragmentation grenades already have a shrapnel section that's very effective.

Haha okay thanks for the context. These idiots should at least make their propaganda plausible.
