The '''M26 hand grenade''' was developed in the years right after World War II. This was the first model of hand grenade which still used a cast iron body, but which enclosed either notched wire or shot to serve as the lethal fragments rather than the grenade body itself. This new type of grenade was much more reliable than the old [[Mk 2 hand grenade|Mk 2 "Pineapple" grenades]].

M26 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade

The M26 hand grenade was developed in the years right after World War II. This was the first model of hand grenade which still used a cast iron body, but which enclosed either notched wire or shot to serve as the lethal fragments rather than the grenade body itself. This new type of grenade was much more reliable than the old Mk 2 "Pineapple" grenades.

Background Information

The Korean War and the 1950s

The M26 was developed and adopted by the U.S. Army just before the Korean War (1950-1953). However, since most units still had huge inventories of Mk 2 "Pineapple" grenades left over after World War II, the M26 rarely saw action in the Korean War. Throughout the 1950s it was the issued hand grenade for all Army units, despite the fact that we still had huge leftover inventories of the Mk 2 as well.

The Vietnam War and the 1960s

In the early 1960s, another improved version of the M26 was adopted, the M61. The M61 had a thin sheet metal body with a notched coiled flat wire and improved fuse. Though the M61 was now the official new hand grenade of the U.S. Armed Forces, the U.S. shipped tens of thousands of existing stock of Mk 2 Pineapple and M26 grenades to South Vietnam, for use by the ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam). These were stored in huge military warehouses throughout the country and many M26s were provided to American troops in the field as well, despite the fact that all new grenade production was supposed to supply only the M61.

The massive increase in munitions requests resulted in a fast retooling of the older M26 line producing an updated grenade. The M26A1 had a better fuse and a different explosive compound. Eventually the M26A1 slowed production and halted, as did the M61 when production of the newer M67 ramped up.

During the conflict, a mix of M26/M26A1 and M61 hand grenades was in use by American forces in Vietnam. Most authors of war books or military articles never bother to reveal the complicated munitions supply issues of the conflict, and most only refer to the M26 as the hand grenade of choice, despite the fact that it is more likely that the virtually identical M61 is really the hand grenade that was used.

The M26 hand grenade and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
