Types of grenades in various countries

I would like to see historical grenades like the M43 and M39 added before the shock grenade.I would like you to add not just the explosive pack, but also the cluster grenade and NO.82 grenade.

Seeing that different countries use the same looking explosive pack feels strange to me.

Thank you for your reply, I think the same way.

Germany’s WW2 Egg Grenades (youtube.com)Potato mashers and eggs.

The WW2 Gammon Bomb/Grenade (youtube.com) The explosive charge was housed in a fabric bag, which was attached to a metal or Bakelite cap containing the fuze. The bag was made of stretchable cloth, allowing it to be filled with plastic explosive before use. This plastic explosive served as the main charge.

Up to 2 pounds (approximately 907 grams) of explosive could be loaded, and the amount was adjustable depending on the target:

  • 1 pound (approx. 453.5 g) for use as an anti-personnel grenade
  • 1.5 pounds for unprotected structures such as wooden houses
  • 2 pounds for armored vehicles or concrete bunkers

This flexibility in explosive quantity was a key feature of the weapon.

The ignition system used the No.247 “Allways fuze”, the same impact fuze found in the British No.69 and No.73 grenades, meaning the Gammon Bomb functioned as an impact grenade—detonating upon contact.It is different from the legendary No. 79 grenade (Sticky Bomb).
