It's a crystal. Remember Pathways Into Darkness? The blue crystals could be used to freeze the big blue meanie, and banshees.

Please! A crystal? Come on! Look at it!

Can't you guys see it's a holy banana frag grenade?

Grenades don't have triggers! Can't you see the brilliant Black Shades-style trigger design?

It's the cardboard box from the MGS series, obviously.

Given the inexplicably high poly count of the other weapons in BlackShades, it could very well be a crystal.

*freezes Ovaltine with the crystal and runs away*

On a sidenote: Grenades do have triggers. They just don't look like the standard M16 trigger group and are one-time apppliances.

Oh yeah? Then explain Dell computers! What else are they if not recycled grenade shrapnol?

you are giving Dell more credit than it deserves. Shitiest company I have ever dealt with. And I work in Public Relations, so I deal with a lot of people/companies.

To split hares:

Using grenade shrapnel would be re-using the waste product of the appliance, not the appliance itself.

To keep in tune: Guns are multi-use appliances. Ammunition is not (cartridges/rounds are a different matter). Knives are multi-use appliances. Arrows are not.

True, it's not "re-using" unless it's used for the same purpose both times. But then again, you are assuming that there is only one use for a ! You may not be able to blow something up with a more than once, but a can still be used for many other things, such as a sports ball, loofa, or even giving colonoscapies!

Oh, and you're right about arrows. They can only be used to kill people, and they blow up into a billion bits afterwards, enver to be picked up and used again.

Method for reclaiming iron-based grenade shrapnel:

Dig out dirt from affected area; dissolve organic material with supercritical carbondioxide, leaving behind minerals, metals, and stones. Run the above through a magnetic sorting array, which will eject ferro-magnetic metals into the collection bin. Deliver metals to ore processing plant.

Q.E.D.

Granted, arrows wasn't too good an example. I guess most arrows are not being re-used after a battle, though, what with them being shattered, broken, or sticking in people.

As Toshiro said, that's not reusing, that's just recycling.

Oh, and to Toshiro, that's toootally untrue. Arrows are hard as fuck to make, and pretty much anyone who's ever used them in war would always try to take back as many as they could. If you can't accept that, then consider that everyone at least reused arrow heads.
