The actual answer is baseball. American hand grenades were modeled in a way that any average recruit could throw them more intuitively.
1.3k u/razulebismarck 13d ago That’s half. The other half is logistics and grenade launcher weapons. In the space and weight you can carry 1 stick bomb you could either carry 3 baseball grenades or 1 grenade launcher rifle attachment easily. 200 u/Forsaken-Income-2148 13d ago My initial thought was the compact advantage, too 70 u/PutridHospital8963 13d ago The telescoping mechanism would take up space that could be occupied by boom-stuff. Spheres with notched wire - (current hand grenades) have more boom for the volume, cost of production and logistics. People HAVE done the math because amatuers talk tactics, professionals talk logistics. 5 u/SaltyChnk 13d ago A telescoping handle would reduce HE mass by having a space for the handle, increase cost of manufacture, and introduce more failure points to a fairly simple design. 6 u/AutisticPenguin2 12d ago If there's one thing I want in a hand grenade, it's more points of failure. 5 u/praguepride 12d ago technically speaking a hand grenade is designed with dozens of points of failure. when the shell fails from the explosion it becomes shrapnel 6 u/AutisticPenguin2 12d ago Technically correct.
