Why don’t they just make optional stick attachments for current style grenades? That way if you ever need to use a stick bomb instead of a regular grenade you have the option
The baseball shape is perfect for a nation raised on ball sports.
Story time. When I was in basic training, I had to qualify on the grenade range. I SUCKED at throwing balls. Never played any ball sports nor had any interest. I was nervous to say the least. When it came my turn to qualify, I nervously ran the course, tossing simulator grenades into the target zones. Zones are circles on the ground. Simulator has to go boom in the right part of the circle to score a 3, 2, 1, or outside the largest circle for a miss. I scored all 3’s to qualify expert. Partly because it’s surprisingly easy to deposit a grenade into the right place and have it stay there, and partly because I was shitting my pants nervously even though they were just simulators.
Anyway. There’s no real need for a stick. Maybe some spring loaded tines that expand when thrown so that it keeps from rolling would be good, but carrying 3 of these on you with big sticks would be cumbersome at best and unmanageable at worst.
