Does anybody know of any BFG or gas grenades shaped like either the WW2 chunky style or the modern smooth shelled Russian grenades?

A dummy that can be used as a BB can would be better than nothing, but I just can't see myself carrying a completely useless dummy around...

 
Hi Ian, the limonka look somewhat similar to the us pineapple grenades right? A bit rounder and with the fuse out the top? You could modify a Thunder B pineapple grenade to look pretty similar I reckon depending on whether you had access to a metal lathe or know someone who could do the machining.

 
Yeah, the F1 "limonka" looks like this:

Yeah, sort of. But no, I don't have a lathe or know anybody who does. I'm also not sure of the insurance implications of modifying a gas grenade. I would have thought that it can't be considered the same as modifying a pyro, but common sense is a rare commodity... Does anybody know?

Oh yeah, the other type:
