Default What are your thoughts on Grenade images on movie pages?

I've noticed that on movie pages and the Grenade pages, we have images of the actual real grenades, complete with correct arsenal markings and such .... but we don't use those in movies & TV shows. Nobody does. We use dummies and trainers, which actually look different. I have NEVER seen anyone use 100% perfect Grenade Ordnance in a movie, nor does ANYONE use live ordnance.

I have photos of the dummies that people are MOST likely to see, however, IMFDB seems to have fallen into a habit of listing it as the real thing, not a dummy made to look like the real thing.

Now I understand having perfect images of the REAL grenade, but shouldn't we have actual shots of the fakes that we use in the movies? I mean that's what people are actually looking at on screen.

I look forward to your thoughts on this.
