That picture looks like a 3D rendering of the grenade instead of an actual photo? Can we find something better? --Graphic 05:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the picture has always been there, I uploaded and added a new picture that goes alongside the paragraph about the stenciled reminder. Userpie 19:16, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• • well, where is it then?

I want the "Nazi soldier" changed to German soldier.

Unfortunatly for you, it IS a Nazi soldier, he may have been from another country for all we know.

No, Nazi was a political party. He fought for Germany, and thus was a German soldier. His political ideology can not be determined by the colors he wore. True, all German soldiers took an oath to Hitler, but many fought for the Fatherland, not for Hitler. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.141.93.135 (talk) 20:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

The statement about "offensive" and "defensive" needs a reference

This line: "This type of grenade, featuring a high explosive charge encased in a thin sheet steel can, is an example of an "offensive" (relying on blast effect), rather than "defensive" (fragmentation) grenade." needs a reference. The concept of relying upon blast for offensive use and fragmentation for defensive use is not in current usage in the US military, or in any reference I've read. IF it is factually correct, it needs to be cited.

It is correct see de:Handgranate for explanation.--Tresckow 23:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Merge with Stick grenade

I can not think of a reason not too, however I can not do it my self, please give any objections or express willingness to preform the merge here Deuxhero 18:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Merge is easy when the article already exists and you don't need to preserve the talk page. Just edit this article to contain the useful bits from stick grenade (really just the picture and trivia]] and then edit the other article to just be a redirect here. Chris Cunningham 19:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

And now we have a problem. The article is called "Model 24 grenade", but it also covers the M15 and M17 stick grenades of WW1. "stick grenade" would be more general of an article name as it would also allow the inclusion of non-German and German non-WW2 stick grenade models. Like for instance the aforementioned German Model 15 and 17, the Austro-Hungarian Rohrhandgranate, the Swedish M18 and M39, the Swiss M43... and there are probably others I'm not aware of. Perhaps a rename of the article is in order? Don Durandal (talk) 10:14, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Mill's Bomb Distance

It's claimed the stick granade can be thrown further than the Mill's bomb, and says fifteen yards for the latter, but the Mill's bomb's own page says 30 metres throwing distance with reasonable accuracy. -- Ralph Corderoy (talk) 12:44, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

15 yards is a ridiculously short distance and is obviously wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.182.125 (talk) 14:36, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Chinese (Pre-PRC) stick grenade name confusion

I've read in a book that the Chinese stick grenade used by the NRA is the Type 23. I'm having doubts that the Type 67 is used in WWII, given that the "67" designation would mean that it was made in 1967 while the "23" designation was made in 1933. Ominae (talk) 20:12, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

a question

the M24 stielhandgranate was a world war one construction or a 1924 construction? (doesn't the code name indicates that it was a 1924 construction?) - guest

The model 24 was introduced in 1924 (hence the designation). Stick grenades however existed since 1915 (the first being the M15). This article is confusing because the old "stick grenade" article was merged into the "model 24" one, which is a baffling decision considering there were plenty of stick grenade designs other than the model 24. Don Durandal (talk) 22:31, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

@Don Durandal, Mic thanks for the reply (you seem to be the one from the great war modification, glad to find you here, I am guest from the battlefield 1918 modification, I remember asking you information from the moddb site for what had happened to the inside1918 site before it had been vanished for ever, it's a pity isn't it after all?)

by the way this site here refers to the rare M1915 stielhandgranate, M1916 stielhandgranate and M1917 stielhandgranate

Merger proposal

It has been debated before, but I want to bring it up again. Should we merge the Model 43 grenade and Model 24 grenade articles into one named Stielhandgranate or perhaps Stick grenade? This way we could present the evolution of the various stick grenade models/variants from WWI throughout WWII in a single article without the confusion that's currently present. M11rtinb (talk) 18:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

That overlooks the existence of the British stick grenades No 1 Grenade, or the Russian/Soviet Model 1914 grenade. There is a section on stick grenades under hand grenade, that is the appropriate place to mention them. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:49, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

To avoid confusion with the Russian and English stick grenades I agree that we shouldn't merge them (the M24 and M43) into an article named Stick grenade, but what about the name Stielhandgranate? M11rtinb (talk) 19:01, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 1 April 2017

Model 24 grenade → Stielhandgranate – The articles describes the evolution of the Stielhandgranate and all of its numerous variants, not just the M24 M11rtinb (talk) 09:48, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am Nikolai Blakovich, the one making most of the recent improvements on the Model 24 Grenade's article. I think that an action similar to that of which the above user has explained would be indeed very useful. However, another option could also work. Perhaps splitting the main article about the Model 24 Grenade into smaller ones, (articles about the variants of the grenade itself.) could be a viable choice as well. I am not biased on this decision, and am open to any ideas. I do, however, worry that there is a problem that could arise. If the Model 24 is renamed the Stielhandgranate, it may be too large of an article (it may come across as rambling if so much information is put consecutively). I do understand that a table of contents will aid in navigation, but it is very likely that people may want to directly search for the original First World War Model 24, or conversely, the Second World War version and the variants created during the war for use by the Wehrmacht. The only concern with that alternative is that the variant articles may be too short. One thing that I request be done, regardless, is that the Model 24 Grenade Article needs to be renamed to Model 24 Stielhandgranate. I am willing to provide extensive sourced content and reading material, regardless of what decision is made. Edit, I agree with the notion to rename the article to Stielhandgranate.

More Dimension/Specifications for the size of the device

Is it possible to include more specific details for the size of the different types of Stielhandgranate grenades? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.235.67.9 (talk) 18:20, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Split article

The current article is a mess and should be split into three different articles. The M15, M16 and M17 are basically variants of the same design, while the M24 is an evolved design from the M17 with a full new development cycle and history and should thus preferrably have its own article (this is comparable to the F-15 Eagle and F-15E Strike Eagle, AK-47 and RPK, etc). The M43 is a complete new design on paper, featuring both a new warhead and stick design.

@GraemeLeggett:, u have previously had strong opinions on page names and form factor etc, do u have any opinion on this? Blockhaj (talk) 08:13, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I'd stick with the current layout and build up the sections until there is the amount of content to warrant splitting out. GraemeLeggett (talk) 11:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I have cleaned up the article a bit but the M24 takes up 50% of the article.--Blockhaj (talk) 12:04, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
