Aah, the age old debate on whether or not the fragmentation lines on a grenade work? Well on the image here of my m1915 German Kugel grenade, that is partially exploded, at least shows that the frag lines "tried" to work. With metal objects, especially cast iron, there are many casting defects/flaws etc.... A grenade as well as just about anything else is only as strong as it's weakest link. As you can see on the Kugel the grenade tried real hard to completly burst along the frag lines, but (at least I think) it blew out the side where it was weakest. i think in a perfect world, that if there were no casting flaws/defects, that a totally uniform grenade would burst completly on the lines. Well, anyway that's the way I see it. Any comments, pro or con are definately welcomed, as i've heard many times that the frag lines were basiclly worthless? Dano
