yes that's a good suggestion,but wouldn't it be marked to show that,another idea I had was that it is for destroying the gun/tank buy putting explosive in the case and running an electric det through the hole and the wire would go out to a blasting machine?
 
That seems overcomplicated and risky, an incendiary grenade was standard for a long time. If that were the case your own logic would seem to require that it be marked?
