Oh, if it's submitted, I'll redraw it anyway. He made that grenade by 
tracing a bitmapped grenade pic (from Fox-Davies, I think) in a 
vector drawing program. Grenades aren't too hard to draw; I'm used to 
drawing the flames from my own device.

Oooh, cool! Thanks!

The hard part is getting him to pick a name. *sigh*
