I've had that request a bunch of times, but I've already got some mild issues exporting my product as it is. Usually I'm able to work things out with customs (having some very brightly coloured grenades in a box makes the shipment more toyish). Truth is I'm pretty sure I don't want to be a manufacturer of replicas. Many countries are quite leery with dealing with potential explosive devices and Canada Post has instated policy that prevents them from handling replica explosive devices. I think every now and then some box tears open and a replica grenade rolls out and they have to clear out the sortation plant for EOD to handle the situation and that just starts to get tedious after awhile.

There are also functional issues. Having barreled sides would require either an increase in maximum diameter, or a reduction in gas capacity (make the valve body smaller in diameter). It's more difficult to make the current pneumatics work in a barreled valve body. To make a realistically shaped grenade I'd have to see what functional tradeoffs could be made for a more realistic yet equally effective device. A realistically shaped grenade would probably have to be made in a bright colour to prevent problems with export which kind of defeats the purpose of all that reengineering for the sake of aesthetics.

I've also got to amortize the current mould and some of the R&D before I can obsolete things and move on. I blew a lot of time and capital in bringing this product to release. It'll take some time before I can catch my breath and move on with a significant new model. Injection moulds are a much deeper financial commitment than CNC Gcode.
