Yet one more thing to carry; I take it you have never been in the military
and have no clue what a pain in the ass all the stuff you have to carry is.

Also, I for one would not want to have to pull the pin on a grenade,
screw around getting it onto the end of the stick and hope it doesn't
fall off before I can throw it.
