Yep – in retrospect, we should have said something like “looks like a real grenade”. Here’s a real grenade for those of you wondering…

Yes, it’s NOT. ^^ (albeit a lot of people want’s to think it was.)

frag grenades like this “pineapple of death” design are always made of metal. The grooves provide the weak points by which the raised areas are blown apart, turning into pieces of deadly shrapnel. This is very clearly NOT a real grenade.

I bet it’ll be an all time favorite at airport security before you know it

2Froggy – it was more like a dremel, cutter and superglue (I mean, I used a dremel to cut the plastic grenade in half…just scissors would have broken the shell.) ^^
And for the pin, in the beggining it was to be “something” but in the end, i thought it was going to give only headaches so I superglued it in place and then made the third button in the spoon.

2 Abraham — the link to modding.ru says just what you say: the modder is Spanish (nickname Inventor). Supposedly, the mod was done from a grenade-shaped bottle using scissors and some paint…

As I do not understand rusian, i can’t read what your link does say, but as the designer of it, I must say it’s a spanish invention, and altough it does look a bit awkward, it feels comfortable in your palm.
Right and left switches are activated like an apple mouse, by pushing down the corners about 1mm down.
The slider plastic under both buttons does indeed have some nylon plastic to make it useable and of course, it’s a wireless mouse powered by two AAA batteries.

(first apearance was in “Arnies airsoft forums” and second apearance was in Metkumods, as for backtracking purposes ^^, under the name Inventor)

That’s not made from a real grenade. Look at the shell- it looks like thin plastic. Pfffft!
