That picture looks like a 3D rendering of the grenade instead of an actual photo? Can we find something better? --Graphic 05:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the picture has always been there, I uploaded and added a new picture that goes alongside the paragraph about the stenciled reminder. Userpie 19:16, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• • well, where is it then?

I want the "Nazi soldier" changed to German soldier.

Unfortunatly for you, it IS a Nazi soldier, he may have been from another country for all we know.

No, Nazi was a political party. He fought for Germany, and thus was a German soldier. His political ideology can not be determined by the colors he wore. True, all German soldiers took an oath to Hitler, but many fought for the Fatherland, not for Hitler. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.141.93.135 (talk) 20:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The statement about "offensive" and "defensive" needs a reference

This line: "This type of grenade, featuring a high explosive charge encased in a thin sheet steel can, is an example of an "offensive" (relying on blast effect), rather than "defensive" (fragmentation) grenade." needs a reference. The concept of relying upon blast for offensive use and fragmentation for defensive use is not in current usage in the US military, or in any reference I've read. IF it is factually correct, it needs to be cited.

It is correct see de:Handgranate for explanation.--Tresckow 23:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Stick grenade

I can not think of a reason not too, however I can not do it my self, please give any objections or express willingness to preform the merge here Deuxhero 18:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge is easy when the article already exists and you don't need to preserve the talk page. Just edit this article to contain the useful bits from stick grenade (really just the picture and trivia]] and then edit the other article to just be a redirect here.
