The plastic bodies really could NOT handle rough handling AND if left to sit in the sun, the plastic would really degrade!
We found MANY of these crummy grenades in 2004 around MOSUL & TIKRIT (the areas I was in).
We tried functioning some and if they weren't an AIRBURST by lobbing them (cooking off a foreign grenade is bad on SO MANY levels!) they would literally break apart when they hit the ground.
We did find them set-up as boobytraps - in that employment they worked too well.
