Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III*

The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III*, known as the "SMLE" (Small Magazine Lee-Enfield) by the British, is ubiquitous among Allied troops throughout the series. It is also used by Lt. Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen) at the start of the first episode.

Thrown

Fake grenade

Lt. Stirling clears a snooker room of its audience by frightening them off with a fake grenade that appears to have been adapted from a Mills Bomb, the standard-issue grenade of British forces during World War II.

No. 36M Mk 1 "Mills Bomb."

Stirling having pulled the pin...

...and throwing it onto the snooker table. For some reason, the players only seem to react once the grenade is on the table, despite Stirling clearly showing it to them before he threw it.

Having successfully performed its function of frightening everyone but Stirling and Lewes out of the room, the smoke from the "grenade" lingers in the air.
