The film is the directorial debut of Phil Tippett, a well-known special effects artist who has done puppeteer and animatronic work for films such as the original Star Wars trilogy, as well as RoboCop.

M7 Incendiary Grenade
A less futuristic take on a supposed incendiary grenade, it's likely to be a repainted and re-stenciled inert M18 smoke grenade, or potentially a dummy AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade that it's clearly a successor of.
Defense Technology Han-Ball Gas Grenade
A pair of (likely mocked up) Defense Technology Han-Ball Gas Grenades are seen near the film's conclusion, they're depicted as frag grenades, either as an in-universe replacement, or stand in to the "MX-90" hand grenade from the first movie.
Pvt. Sandee (Sandrine Holt) holding out two (now live) grenades out of desperation. The safety spoons could be seen flying off in the previous frame of this shot.
