Description
My first 3D post. A quick experiment in SketchUp and getting decent screen grabs from it. There will be much much more to come. I would offer a download of the .skp file, but dA wont let me do that for free. Its available in the warehouse in SketchUp, go find it there if you want.Related Images:

Pretty nice design. I like the fuse, especially.ย
However, there are three things I think could be changed. One, you should make the numbers a bit more high-visibility, for stressful situations. Perhaps white, or glow-in-the-dark for low visibility operations. The other thing is the rivets/screws around the fuse. There is really no need to have so many tiny screws/rivets. I recommend changing them to the same size as the rivet/screw right next to the spoon, and reducing the count to 4 at the cardinal directions.
The last thing is more of a personal design choice, but lots, if not all, grenades have a safety feature to prevent accidental arming. The M67 (the fragmentation grenade fielded by the US military) has a small metal clip around the spoon that must be thumbed to arm the grenade. Here is an image; you can find more by googling 'm67 grenade safety'. ย inert-ord.net/usa03a/usa3/m67/โฆ

Wow. I never expected such a thorough critique for this little thing. The little screws were more ofย aesthetic choice, buuuut If I had to justify them I'd make up some crap about the manufacturer not wanting troops taking explosives apart and going pop. The high contrast fuse selector is something I probably should have thought of, but the safety clip is something I never considered. I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future.ย
Fun fact: I was considering adding a threaded bit on the bottom so it could quickly adapted to a stick grenade, but threading is a pain in the ass and I realized that if have to extend the handle too, or it would lead to all sorts of odd complications.

Well, you don't want to be around when it goes off!
