Why aren't grenades designed like these anymore? They have some definite advantages over what is commonly used today and they seem pretty practical in terms of ergonomics.

Doesn't roll Can throw further Can stick into ground if necessary Can give you pleasure Can anyone explain to me why these are outdated?

The ol' pineapple style can also give pleasure. They're even ribbed for your pleasure.

    Too many soldiers were focusing on the pleasure aspect. 😩

    The handle takes a lot of room. Shipping to carrying, if you had to carry 3 of those into battle it become a burden. Better off using one of those tennis ball throwers to get better range.

    for real, part of it is the fact it wont roll, and the number of grenades you could carry was lower and they were clunky to carry.
