hi guys

i have a pineapple grenade which has an attachment screwed into the top.i think this is to turn it into a land mine of sorts .mine is missing the spike type thing that sits on top of the plunger/pressure plate.just wondered what it was called so i could research it.
 
Hi

Sounds like you have a US pineapple fitted with either a M1 Pressure Firing Device, or possibly a M6/M7 combination firing device. Difficult to tell from your description, and a picture would help greatly. Try "Pressure Switch" or "Firing Device" in the search function, or have a look at Lexpev's site via the links above.

Cheers
