Is it a fruit? Is it a hand grenade? Is it both? The Pineapple Grenade as it was nicknamed is a classic among all military generations. Show your support and love for the pineapple grenade with this stylish dark cammo hat and detailed embroidery.

This is the American Mk 2, high-explosive (HE), anti-personnel (AP), defensive, fragmentation, time-delay fuzed, hand grenade. The Mk 2 grenade is painted olive drab, with a yellow band around the top of the fuze well. Its slang name is Pineapple because of its shape and external serrations. The MK2 grenade is pineapple shaped with deep serrations of its body. These serrations delineate fragmentation of the body when the grenade explodes. It was the standard-issue hand grenade used during World War II and also saw limited service in later conflicts, including the Korean War and Vietnam War. The Mk 2 was gradually phased out of service as the M26-series (M26/M61/M57) grenade was introduced during the Korean War. Due to the tremendous quantity manufactured during World War II the Mk 2 was still in limited issue with the US Army and US Marine Corps throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The U.S. Navy was one of the last users of the Mk 2 when it was finally withdrawn from U.S. military service in 1969, replaced with the M33 series (M33/M67).
