Got the training pineapple all painted up.
Training grenades have this gaping hole in the bottom. There's a training fuse that screws in the top, just like a real grenade, that has a the same delay as a frag; but with just a little squib charge to go bang so you know the grenade has gone off.
What I have is a dummy fuze. It doesn't even have a hammer under the spoon. It's also too modern for a Mk.II; there's a groove for a safety tab.
The yellow stripe is deliberately too wide and amateurishly done. Don't want it to look too real, don't wanna scare people.
I'm getting quite a collection of fake grenades built up. The best looking are the movie props I mail-ordered from Hong Kong.
Still looks like a nice display piece.
