These are the times when most countries are grappling with issues related to terrorism and internal disturbances. With so many insurgents and militants taking over much of the time of armed forces around the world, hand grenades have become one of the most commonly used military weapons in the battlefield.
Of course, there is nothing novel about a hand grenade and they have been used for ages. However, since it has been used for so long, it indicates that the grenades are versatile and can withstand the test of time. A funny twist to the story is added when we discover several grenade inspired gadgets.
These gadgets could be a great source of joy to those geeks who wished to be in the army, but never got a chance to. Here are some of the coolest Hand Grenade inspired gadgets that we have come across.
Pacman Grenade Design
Pacman has hardly got anything to do with grenades. However, a certain designer has thought upon a sinister Pacman inspired Grenade gadget that looks like a concept for a grenade. It perhaps is a great way to flush out terrorists who play Pacman secretly.
Hand Grenade Alarm Clock
Those who find it hard to get up in the morning need to hear a loud noise to help them wake up. The Hand Grenade Alarm Clock does just that, and gives you an “explosive” start in the morning.
Grenade Piggy Bank
You might have heard about kids who always try to break open the piggy bank to check how much cash is in there. The Grenade Piggy Bank could be a great gift to children who need to learn how to save money, but also know that lack of money could lead to “explosive situations”.
Grenade Oil Lamp
There isn’t much to say about the Grenade Oil Lamp except that it could be a metaphor for the ongoing struggle for peace and light. However, the darkness of the world seems to be quite strong, and the lone grenade cannot get rid of the insurgencies and militancy that the world faces today.
MP3 Music Player Grenade Mod
This is not an MP3 player that has been modded to look like a grenade, but it is an actual Grenade Turned into an MP3 Player. One must never try modding this ever, unless you want to be blown up.
Sonic Grenade
This is a sick trick that you could play on your co-workers. Imagine how tedious it must be to work in a cubicle. What better way than to launch a Sonic Grenade to shake the victim from the daily humdrum?
Laughter Grenade
Grenades could be a symbol of violence and struggle, but they could also indicate that peace would soon follow. In order to remove the terror from grenades, a designer has created the Laughter Grenade Gadget, which sure would tickle your bones.
Grenade Mouse
No geek list can be complete without a mouse running up and down. This Grenade Mouse is a little too extreme, but it sure could make you work harder for you would want to use it more often.

Sound Grenade App can be used as an irritant to drive away people around you. Once installed on your iPhone, it can generate sounds that are most annoying to the human ears.
Hand Grenade Cellphone Concept
This is obviously a grenade, or a clay model of a grenade painted like a cellphone. I am wondering what the person who created this was actually thinking. That “I shall call you up, and explode your ears”?

While all these grenade inspired gadgets are cool, one must spare a thought to those who really handle the live hand grenades. They risk their lives and limbs in order to protect their nations.
