M26 Grenade

"Yikes! It's that M26 grenade! North Koreans must've been using these for sure! Americans made it, but now those pesky guys are using this for sure! I hate it!"

--Su Ji-Hoon, Where Did They Come From?

The M26 is a fragmentation hand grenade made by the United States.

The M26 is a fragmentation grenade developed by the United States military. It entered service around 1952 and was used in combat during the Korean War. Its distinct lemon shape led it to being nicknamed the "lemon grenade" (compare Russian F1 grenade, and Mk 2 Pineapple grenade, with similar nicknames).
