    I'm not sure where is the correct place to ask this, so I gotta take a stab at it.

    I am part of the H3VR (Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, & Hand Grenades) community and I have been discovering some of the models in Conker: Live & Reloaded are actually based off of real life weapons from WWII. For instance, the Sinurator is based off of the M2 Flamethrower, the Bazooka is loosely based off of the Panzerschreck, the Krotch 45 is the Colt SAA/Peacemaker, the Toad/Dragon is based off of the Willy's Jeep, etc.

    I was wondering... can you help me identify the basis of a specific hand grenade please? The Frag grenade looks like a hybrid of the Mills Bomb and MKII Frag, the Flash Bang grenade looks like it was based off of the M84 Stun Grenade, the Magnova Grenade (portmanteau of magnetic and supernova) looks like it's a fictional RG-42 with non-functional bolts on it's side for the lightning effect, the CJ24 grenade looks like it was somehow inspired by the MkV Gas Grenade, and the Smoke grenade looks like it was based off of the M18 Smoke Grenade.

    But here's where I need help: the Napalm Grenade. I personally have never heard of a napalm grenade before. What are those red cylinders on the Napalm Grenade along with that single green cylinder near the center of the model? I need to know these parts and pieces if I'm ever going to explain to RUST LTD. (the owners of H3VR) how to reconstruct this weapon and in the process make it into a high-detailed version of what I'm seeing in Conker: Live & Reloaded.

    A grenade works like this: a handle is holding the striker down, when the handle is released, the handle flies off due to the spring-loaded striker. The striker hits the percussion cap which ignites a slow-burning material which leads to the fuse. The fuse ignites a small explosion and causes the main body of the grenade to explode. So I'm stumped on how this Napalm Grenade in Conker: Live & Reloaded would work.

    P.S, if you can, please explain to me the basis of the following vehicles: the Tankus, the Steed, and the R-Hog; I'm 80% positive that they were inspired by something in WWII. If you can do that, that's the edge I need to try and reconstruct these vehicles from scratch while in the process adding more details like fully functional monitors, gauges, buttons, etc. for GTAV.

    Ummmmm.

    The quad is pretty obviously based off of motorcycles of WW2. Just look them up.

    The tank sort of looks vaguely based on the 3" GMC M5, an anti-tank tractor design which was I believe not put into production, or limited production, and did not see service.

    The flyer... looks to me like an attempt to backdate a postwar helicopter-like design to make it seem like something from the SWW while not being so.

    I am not aware of any such thing as a "napalm grenade" existing in the SWW. I think it was dropped to a limited extent from bombers.
