M24 German Grenade replacer for Giga Grenade-Thermite-Frag-Dynamite (A World at War Collection)

If a M24 was not enough, then germans were like "I'll f*cking do it again".

The M24 lacked effectiveness against hard targets such as tanks and buildings. A common solution was an improvised "bundle charge" (German: Geballte Ladung, lit. 'Interconnected charge').

The heads of a number of M24 grenades – their handles and fuses removed – would be strapped around a complete grenade, usually with simple rope, cloth, or metal wire, a solution initially invented during World War I using M15, M16 and M17 grenades. These "bundle charges" could be crafted with up to six additional heads around the complete grenade, the most common styles being the addition of four or six M24 heads.[citation needed]

As a result of this cost-effective and reliable solution, the standard infantryman of the Wehrmacht could quickly improvise a grenade with up to seven times the explosive power. However, the added weight made it more difficult to throw, and the increased size meant that it was not practical to carry with one hand and that far fewer could be carried.

These factors meant that infantry squads, if faced with an armored enemy, would have to close to a reduced range if they wanted to use the bundle charges.

During the early years of World War II, there was little in terms of truly effective German handheld weaponry designed to fight hard targets such as armored vehicles and structures, and even later in the war this style of bundle grenade remained useful to the common Heer infantryman.

Another version of improvised weapon using M24 grenades was a type of bangalore torpedo (German: Gestreckte Ladung, lit. 'Elongated Charge') made out of a number of M24 grenades – their handles and fuses removed and replaced with detonators – mounted to a long stick or plank behind one another with a complete grenade at one end to initiate the explosion.

It wasn’t specifically an anti-tank weapon and, indeed, was first used in WW1 as an improvised weapon using the M24’s predecessor, the M17.

Aircraft bomb version is wild.

- "What do you say Hans, 4 of those will do the trick don't you think?"

- "Hmmm, i'm not sure about that one Friedrich, let's add another one just to make sure."

- " You guys are crazy. Let's make it 6. Hold my beer."
