Yes you read that right. Iraqi soldiers are using a tactic from ISIS. They apparently have been using shuttlecocks on grenades. The shuttlecocks add stability to the grenades and improving their accuracy.

From the photo below it looks like there is a custom adapter that fits the 40mm grenade onto the shuttlecock.

    Those custom adapters - 3d printed, moulded or re-purposed from something else?

    Great job, let the cat out of the bag. Now the guys these are aimed at will just get some badminton racquets to swat them away.
