pineapple grenade
Bumpy hand bomb
A pineapple grenade is a hand grenade with a segmented, ovoid metal casing that resembles a pineapple.
The distinctive grooved surface—originally thought to aid fragmentation—became iconic of infantry grenades, particularly the American Mk 2 used from World War I through Vietnam: He pulled the pin on the pineapple and tossed it into the bunker.
