Hello /k/, I want to buy an inert F1 grenade and I was wondering,

Just use a staple or something if it breaks.

I know this is going to sound retarded but you dont mean this do you?

>>35152935
Just bend those two tines together so the pin is straight and not using them as a locking surface.

this makes sense, thanks.

most inert grenades are manufactured by taking the actual functioning device and removing the explosive charge.

it probably is fairly fragile, sturdy enough to survive normal use but since a live hand grenade is not something to be toying around with it wouldn't surprise me at all if certain parts are intended to be removed only once and never be replaced.

you do realize they're supposed to explode when you use them correctly, right?

how would it be fragile? from my understanding all that is left is the metal casing thingy and the bit that pokes out of the top, I'm not going to be throwing it around but I want to fiddle with it.

the specific component you circled in the OP image is small and thin, it will probably break after being bent repeatedly. also it probably isn't made with the highest grade metal due to the fact it's part of a device made to explode when used as intended

I wonder what wire diameter you would want so it isn't too hard to pull?

no.

You can get an airsoft grenade pin if you're that worried, it may fit and they're like $2. Look for the Thunder B grenades.

>>35152953
this is a good idea, you could also buy a spool of half round wire or split pins and make pins to play with until they snap from fatigue.

i just enlarged you pic op, as someone with a modest ordinance collection, don't buy one of those wooden repros when real inert grenades are available to you in the eu.

the fuze in the one you posted is made out of wood and won't stand up to much action.
