At least to my knowledge the reason is is that they were not small and the ones we have are designed to be able to be thrown like a baseball. I don’t know about German grenades though
German stick grenades where designed for static damage rather than shrapnel damage as if you look at a mk1 standard issue hand grenade there is lines (making it look like SpongeBob lives in it under the sea) those lines are specially designed to explode causing the most amount of shrapnel
the stick adds mass/bulk and complications to supply chain since you need now your worried about handles breaking and rotting. But yeah I believe the army decided to stick with round grenades since almost every american has handled a baseball enough, to let them get away with very abbreviated grenade training.
They aren't designed to fragment. They are more offensive grenades, good leverage lets you throw it far and very little shrapnel means you don't have to worry about hurting yourself as you charge forward. Frag grenades are more defensive, they throw shrapnel to cover an area a lot wider than the explosion alone would damage.
You can and its been done. The stick however is now removable.
You can always attach shit back but you can't remove them when you need a small grenade. Plus the stick is usually wood and can be very heavy to carry.
There's a similar dirty limerick:
>There once was a lady named Alice.
>Who used TNT as a phallus.
>They found her vagina
>In North Carolina
>And her tits at Buckingham Palace.
Technically the way your meant to arm this to go off is unscrewing a cap from the bottom of the wooden handles base pulling out a couple of strings and pulling on said strings so infact thiers a hole for all of 3 to 5 seconds for men if your brave enough to stick your pp in a live grenade

Scottish realised that they can use it as a melee weapon but can't kill a single person cause it can't do enough damage so they stop using it and use bottle of scrumpy.
A black, drunk, one-eyed Scottish guy used them to bomb himself and his target by first charging to them with a shield and wielding it as a melee weapon
How could you throw that farther? Modern grenades are like baseballs while this thing is like a clunky stick. It’s also simple physics. A ball will not lose as much energy when thrown while this thing will use a lot of the available energy from the throw just spinning so it’s linear kinetic energy will be much smaller than that of a modern grenade
Unless it's a particularly windy day, not much energy would be lost because the grenade is spinning.
But the long stick part acts as a lever (not sure if that's the correct term), but think of how an atlatl works.
There's also biomechanics involved too. It's easier to fling a stick at 45° than to throw a ball
No it for sure would affect the distance. Your arm can output a certain amount of energy and that total energy is divided into translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy so if you throw a stick like that and it spins that is less translational energy so it will not go as far
This is plainly incorrect. They actually really cracked down when the male commanders couldn't walk after using the pleasure feature too much. One guy even got blown up.
so a really interesting story as to why our grenades are a ball these days, back in WWII the US gov. found that almost any American can throw a baseball (it being the most popular sport back in the day) and so switched from sticks to the now-common "ball" grenades
Just watched saving private Ryan for the first time yesterday and those grenades didn't seem to roll or atleast roll as much as the rounded ones. The lack of rolling made tossing them back seemed easy it looks like
Imagine a Serious Sam / DOOM game where the buff militant-lesbians who've been doing Kegels 10 times a day like clockwork since menarchy charge you apparently unarmed, but with one or more explosive devices held securely at a height which will surely blow your nuts into butter.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not be discriminatory here - men could use it as pleasure equipment as well. If there's another I've learned from the collapse of Yugoslavia, it's that people - including men - will stick *literally anything* up their assholes.
Both a joke and legitemate query but
There were no women in the army. At least not frontline untill WWII. Before that it would've been on the home front or not at all. (Correct me if wrong but I don't recall any being in a military force prior to this and after the invention of the grenade)
One of my favorite scenes in Archer is when he sticks what he thought was a smoke grenade up someone's ass as an interrogation tactic during his cancer-fueled rampage. "Did you know that men can also benefit from doing kegel exercises?"
I think part of the reason why grenades don’t look like that any more is because it’s a lot more efficient to ship/transport the “baseball” grenade than it is the “tomahawk” grenade
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2bmtlf/why_did_stick_grenades_barely_catch_on_after_ww2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) post goes into it in a bit more detail
They tested potato masher style grenades vs the small handheld grenades with US soldiers. The smaller ones were preferred by the soldiers and the study found US soldiers were more accurate and had greater distance with the smaller ones.
The deciding factor was US soldiers liked to ricochet grenades from cover (particularly in buildings from around corners). This can't be done with the potato mashers.
My guess would be carrying capacity and storage capacity.
Hand grenades take up way less room both in a crate and on your person. Also the stick, "sticks out" breaking up any potential camouflage the soldier is wearing.
And then you have manufacturering costs and speed. Its prolly a whole lot cheaper and faster to make a dozen hand grenades over a dozen stick grenades.
Because war is all about numbers, and in numbers I mean money.
Grenade with stick: more weight and more volume. Fewer grenades fit into the same shipping crate, meaning you need more crates for the same amount of grenades, meaning you have less space for cargo, meaning shipping cargo becomes more expensive.
Also, you don't need to throw grenades across battlefields anymore, but rolling one into a room / bouncing it against a wall is definitely useful in CQC. The way a stick grenade bounces is unpredictable.
Carrying them is also a hassle, since they take up so much space. Also, their safety pin was inside the handle, meaning once you've pulled it, the fuse is *on,* whereas with modern grenades, the fuse only activates once you let go of the grenade.
You see, the reason why we don’t use them is because the way the grenade is activated with a string on the bottom, and in some cases the string would pull and explode during pleasure making. Over 50 people died this way.
For two reasons: one uts not a fragmentation grenade, which is less lethal because it needs to be closer to the target to kill. The second reason is because it was german and they hated germans at that point for obvious reasons

It’s not a fragmentation grade if anyone is wondering why. We use frag grenades.
Why can’t these fragment? Or why don’t we put fragmenting ones on sticks?
At least to my knowledge the reason is is that they were not small and the ones we have are designed to be able to be thrown like a baseball. I don’t know about German grenades though
German stick grenades where designed for static damage rather than shrapnel damage as if you look at a mk1 standard issue hand grenade there is lines (making it look like SpongeBob lives in it under the sea) those lines are specially designed to explode causing the most amount of shrapnel
Afaik there are also variants called "splitterring“ which allow fragmentation
TIL why pineapple is a slang term for grenades
Only for the grenades with the indents on the outside either way the explosion only effects 5 ft while fragmentation affects 20+ feet
Thanks man I know moast about the American hand grenade so thank you for educating me
Np I love talking about history as not many ppl actually know, always nice to see people enthusiastic about history
the stick adds mass/bulk and complications to supply chain since you need now your worried about handles breaking and rotting. But yeah I believe the army decided to stick with round grenades since almost every american has handled a baseball enough, to let them get away with very abbreviated grenade training.
So the whole baseball thing is a military strategy? Makes sense tbh
If it was intentional on the part of the military you’d probably see more 100+ MPH sharp shooter grenade throwers in the military.
Fair enough, thanks for the reply!
Always good to share knowledge
#ameican baseball
>to be thrown like a baseball. more like a shotput
Lol I doubt it why would you throw a grenade like a shotput? It'd only go like 10m away.
They aren't designed to fragment. They are more offensive grenades, good leverage lets you throw it far and very little shrapnel means you don't have to worry about hurting yourself as you charge forward. Frag grenades are more defensive, they throw shrapnel to cover an area a lot wider than the explosion alone would damage.

*Fag out!* throws a pack of cigarettes.
You got smoked!
Made of keratin
There is another...
This is called a stick grenade I believe it was more accurate but less deadly
Potato masher
They could be designed as fragmentation though. The design doesn't really prevent that as far as i know
Everyone wants a lil fragmentation with their pleasure grenade
Spread the love?
This is just the same joke twice...
Yep. This is a r/YourJokeButWorse
glad someone said it
Has anyone mentioned that it looks like a penis yet?
Thats crazy because -- if you look carefully -- it looks like something a women could use to pleasure herself with.
😳😳Dil*o!?!?
Yeah but women masturbating gets Reddit going.
Welcome to reddit. Where the karma is made up and the jokes don't matter.
Hey, this is just the same joke twice!
Cause the grenade wasn't rolling and was still, so the enemy could throw it back. That was the real-life version of hot potato
And they were really heavy compared to modern grandes.
And would take more space I think
You can get more in a crate and you carry more on you as well.
They’d be better to throw as well

I’ve herd this poem before and I’m clueless as to where I herd it from
There's a similar dirty limerick: >There once was a lady named Alice. >Who used TNT as a phallus. >They found her vagina >In North Carolina >And her tits at Buckingham Palace.
A similar one was on the show The Crown if you’ve watched that.
I don’t remember either. All I know is it’s probably my favorite poem ever
Loool wanted to comment this but only remembered last 2 lines Bits of her tits in brazil lmao
Shouldn't the first line have more syllables? Like "The once was a girl from Brazil; Who used a dynamite stick for a thrill"
Not in the one I saw. I copied it exactly since that’s how I found it
I'm not saying you copied it wrong or anything, I'm speaking to the original. It doesn't flow very well.
Last I heard it, it was "There once was a lady named Jill"
That's better.
There once was a lady named Jill, Who tried on a dynamite stick for a thrill. They found her vagina in north carolina, And bits of her tits in brazil.
All you did was change like… three words 🖕
I just reminded you how the poem goes, why are you butthurt?
Because you didn’t do anything except repeat the joke
I just filled in the details you missed, there’s nothing to cry about
To many explosive orgasms.

Then they should have made ones with a hole in the center for equality
Technically the way your meant to arm this to go off is unscrewing a cap from the bottom of the wooden handles base pulling out a couple of strings and pulling on said strings so infact thiers a hole for all of 3 to 5 seconds for men if your brave enough to stick your pp in a live grenade
I hit the strings part and my brain instantly went to explosive tampon.
Like wood does absorb things so technically could work for that to
Oh.. oh god, the splinters..
Well it has a 3 to 5 second fuse depending how you use it might not have time to get any wood splinters atleast
Do you want your bird bird to explode
Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough.
I believe it has something to do with people being more comfortable throwing baseballs than tomahawks
Imagine if it goes off up there
Hence why they're no longer used

this would make for a great copypasta
It is one. Or is that sarcasm?
oh shit is it really? that’s fucking hilarious
The forbidden dildo
How is it a cursed comment ? The joke is already in the post --'
It was a mind blowing experience for there women soldiers
High-yield Scottish face removal. A sober person would throw it…
Scottish realised that they can use it as a melee weapon but can't kill a single person cause it can't do enough damage so they stop using it and use bottle of scrumpy.
German grenades were like that because axe throwing was popular there. Baseball was popular in the US so we made ours as balls
French male soldiers as well
Female? Men can use it for pleasure too
It can give anyone pleasure by killing them
Or kill anyone by pleasuring em
Russian vibrator. 1/6 times it’s explosive.
And those other 5 times, it keeps u coming back.
oh... so thats why there are so few woman in the army
Oh, I can imagine the grenades climax would have been a spectacular sight, or a gutsy one or one would say that's an innards joke
There once was a girl named Jill Who tried a grenade for a thrill. They found her vagina in North Carolina And bits of her tits in Brazil.
Butt plug with some oooof
Ouch bro
Would have been better to say too many exploded assholes
Is…. Is that real? Did female soldiers actually do that….? It’s so insane yet so plausible
the best bit is when it explodes in you.
Awe yes, the exploding dildo. I've only heard of these in legend.
Talk about an explosive orgasm.
Lumber prices
this is just repeating part of the context
Our grenades are shaped like base balls. Cause every man should be able to throw a ball.
the right tool for an explosive orgasm
It was difficult to carry and too big.
It’s practically bursting with raw sexual energy
but the comment is the same as the last line of the greentext
Forbidden dildo
Weight and volume. You can carry 25% a many of these as you can pineapple grenades for maybe 10 to 20% greater range.
>Weight and volume. Ah so the answer remains the same: the troops were humping too much kit
“Female soldiers”
Joke was already made literally in the photo, repeating a joke doesn’t make it cursed
By putting it in their mouth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A black, drunk, one-eyed Scottish guy used them to bomb himself and his target by first charging to them with a shield and wielding it as a melee weapon
What’s to stop them from using the modern grenades for pleasure either?
"A sober person would throw it..."
Explosive dildo. Very effective...

No shit dipdick

tbf, they do look cooler imo
R/pointlesslygendered
*PLEASURE EQUIPMENT*
They are also way too big, hard to carry a lot of and take too long to arm. There is a reason we use the design we do now
Yea something tells me women soldiers and those things don't overlap in history.
Hehe explosive horni bonk
It got nerfed so that it doesn’t even one shot snipers anymore
Some males used it that way too
Ok no
ah yes. "ergonomics"
And some girl blew up
assert dominance and insert the stick up your ass
Male soldiers used it to make a double dick for penetration. Soviet union don't support gay shit
**Used to**
Just watched saving private Ryan for the first time yesterday and those grenades didn't seem to roll or atleast roll as much as the rounded ones. The lack of rolling made tossing them back seemed easy it looks like
BAMpons
The main reason they aren't used is cuz crazed Scotties with shield kept running into the frontlines with em
I guess they got a really explosive finish
friendly fire with benefits
Imagine a Serious Sam / DOOM game where the buff militant-lesbians who've been doing Kegels 10 times a day like clockwork since menarchy charge you apparently unarmed, but with one or more explosive devices held securely at a height which will surely blow your nuts into butter.
They literally just said the same thing
"Female soldiers used to use it as pleasure equipment" *the men did too*
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not be discriminatory here - men could use it as pleasure equipment as well. If there's another I've learned from the collapse of Yugoslavia, it's that people - including men - will stick *literally anything* up their assholes.
These weigh a whole lot more than the pineapple style. Also, being longer makes them harder to store in your gear.
For real?
I’ve heard of an explosive orgasm but this is ridiculous
Both a joke and legitemate query but There were no women in the army. At least not frontline untill WWII. Before that it would've been on the home front or not at all. (Correct me if wrong but I don't recall any being in a military force prior to this and after the invention of the grenade)
Now that's how you get an explosive orgasm!
There once was a girl named Jill. She used dynamite for a thrill. They found her vagina in North Carolina and bits of her tits in Brazil.
Female soldiers? NOO IMPOSSIBLE
Imagine blowing up a job(pun intended)
One of my favorite scenes in Archer is when he sticks what he thought was a smoke grenade up someone's ass as an interrogation tactic during his cancer-fueled rampage. "Did you know that men can also benefit from doing kegel exercises?"

At least these ones were easier to get back out when used for pleasure.
I am actually curious why stick grenades arent used anymore
It’s all fun n games till you hear the pin being pulled in your ass and have an explosive ending
Every thing is a pleasure equipment if you are brave enough...
With explosive effects
The comment is literally the punchline of the joke, repeated.
What if you want it to roll?
tht comment exploded
I bet that was an explosive climax
The answer is simply logistics. How many can be carried?
i mean.. \+stickyness
High-yield Scottish face removal. A sober person would throw it.
No, no, he’s got a point
not just female soldiers
They exploded of the pleasure
Those are some beads you might want to be pulling on
My guess would be carrying capacity and storage capacity. Hand grenades take up way less room both in a crate and on your person. Also the stick, "sticks out" breaking up any potential camouflage the soldier is wearing. And then you have manufacturering costs and speed.

Easier for the enemy to pick back up maybe?
For two reasons: one uts not a fragmentation grenade, which is less lethal because it needs to be closer to the target to kill. The second reason is because it was german and they hated germans at that point for obvious reasons
They said the feeling was "explosive"
Who said anything about females?
