Guess what this is...besides the obvious
 

This one may or may not be guessed quickly ;)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its a post missing an attachment. ;)

Is it the new "Stealth" hand grenade? designed to look like a Harmless winking Smiley?

TS will post the picture as I am evidently computer challenged amongst other things. I am trainable however! :D

That is a Grenade(German or Swiss I believe) that can be used as an offensive grenade without the Frag Sleeve, or as a Defensive grenade with the frag sleeve. Unsure of the designation, but that's what I think it is.

If I had to guess, I would say a Diehl DM 51 dual purpose hand grenade as used by the Bundeswehr.

Concur.

Ok, so I may not be getting harder in my pictures. :rolleyes:

It is indeed a DM 51. You are right in it being both an "offensive" and "defensive" device in one. The device is entirely made of plastic with the exception of the fuze and spoon. This device is arguably the single most effective "defensive" grenade anywhere in the world. That is until the Swiss introduce their version of our M67. The grenade can be connected to other DM 51's end-to-end to make Bangalore Torpedos and cluster charges. The plastic matrix with balls vaporizes upon detonation sending the balls out in all directions.

Some specs:

Weight: 435g
Fuze assembly weight: 64g
Fragmentation jacket weight: 290g
HE filling: 60g of Nitropenta
Number of balls: 6500
Size of balls: 2-2.3mm
