M9 fragmentation grenade

The M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose grenade (M9 HE-DP), commonly nicknamed the pineapple by UNSC personnel, is the standard-issue hand grenade of the United Nations Space Command. The M9 is a standard fragmentation grenade employed by almost all branches of the UNSC armed forces.
== Overview ==
The grenade has a length of 90 millimeters and a diameter of 64 millimeters, the hard, frangible metal casing is meant to break apart into small, regular shards. This surface creates consistent, reliable fragmentation patterns for the grenade, rather than randomly rupturing along metallurgical faults. The grid-shaped casing houses a charge of composition D high-explosive fitted with a contact-delayed electronic fuse. When the charge detonates, it shatters the grenade's casing, sending shrapnel flying at high velocity. The grenade is primed with a thumb switch located on the "handle".
