Mk 2 Grenade

The Mk 2 Grenade was a fragmentation hand grenade commonly used by the Americans during World War II. It is seen throughout all the WWII-themed Call of Duty games.

History
The MK 2 Grenade was created by the United States Army during World War II and was used also during the Vietnam War. The United States Navy became the last users of the grenade after it was replaced by the M67 and M61 grenades.

Game Info
The MK 2 Grenade is a common grenade in many of the battles for the Americans and British so it is a dependable weapon. Usually the average soldier holds 1 to 3 grenades in combat. The MK 2 Grenade's accuracy is low and is not useful outside, but rather inside small areas such as buildings and trenches. The MK 2 Grenade's power is strong so if in a good position can kill a large number of enemy soldiers.

Call of Duty: World at War (Frag Grenade)
In World at War, the Mk2 returns as the standard Frag Grenade used by everyone in multiplayer, much like the M67 in CoD4. Compared with its CoD4 counterpart, the Frag Grenade has taken a major hit in usefulness, mostly because of its smaller radius. This also affects grenades dropped by Martyrdom, which makes it much easier to avoid one when it is dropped by a dead enemy.

To effectively use the Frag, you must have the grenade primed for about a minimum three seconds before throwing it, depending on the distance between you and the target. Otherwise, the target will have enough time to able to run from the grenade without taking any damage when it land. However, this does not mean that the Frag is worthless; it is still a fine weapon for flushing out enemies hing behind cover and to distract pesky snipers long enough for your allies to either run past him or run in and kill him. It packs a punch in tight areas, so feel free to use them in confined areas, such as buildings.

In Single Player, the Mk 2 is the standard frag grenade for the United States Marine Corps. You'll always have four when you start a US level, but they almost never appear in the actual levels.
