Dutch Practice Grenade Pineapple Fragmentation Grenade

~ Dutch Practice Grenade Pineapple Fragmentation Grenade ~

The grenade has a unique cylindrical shape with a domed top that features several large circular cutouts. This design is distinct from the more commonly recognized “pineapple” shape of fragmentation grenades like the British Mills Bomb.
The body is metallic and robust, designed to withstand repeated use during training exercises.

Color and Markings:

The main body of the grenade is painted in a dark grey or black color, typical of inert training devices.
The top dome is painted white, with the cutout sections revealing the dark color underneath. The white paint helps to easily identify the grenade as a practice or inert device.
The lever and pin mechanism are painted green, contrasting with the rest of the grenade to signify its functional parts.

Lever and Pin:

The grenade is equipped with a traditional pull ring and safety lever mechanism, mimicking the operation of a live grenade to provide realistic training.
The safety pin is visible and is designed to be removed just like on a live grenade, allowing for safe practice in handling and throwing.

Purpose and Use

This grenade is specifically designed for training purposes. The inert nature of the grenade allows soldiers to practice safely, handling and simulating the actions required to use a live grenade without the risk of an explosion.
The design, weight, and operation closely mimic those of a live grenade, providing a realistic training experience.
