Abstract
A grenade pouch adapter for receiving a grenade is provided. The grenade pouch adapter includes a curved body having a planar surface, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The inner surface extends perpendicularly from a first edge of the planar surface and defines an inner contour of the curved body. The outer surface extends perpendicularly from a second edge of the planar surface. A spoon slot is located at a first end of the curved body. The spoon of the grenade is received into the spoon slot through a spoon aperture formed on the planar surface of the curved body. The spoon slot is configured to hold the spoon of the grenade in a single orientation such that a safety pin ring of the grenade is positioned facing towards wearer's body.
