Found it!
I don't want to add this to my YT channel yet, so here's a dropbox link. I may remove it later, but you can download it by right clicking and selecting "save as" or something. . .

I remember making a video before, but I will try to look for it :)

None of my rubber bands work, and I don't want to buy any. So for now, I'm not going to sue this grenade...

[charge11595]

Thats ok. It's been like 3 years since I made this instructable, and I've moved on since then, although I try to stay some what active on instructables. . .

[Renn645]

It's hard when I try to put the white rod in the third slot, it doesn't properly fit in. It kepps staying out. Bleergh, any solutions?

[charge11595]

It sticks out a little depending on the tension of the rubber bands. Perhaps try a tighter one to old the white rods, or a looser one underneath?

done it awesome time to test

[trap freak]

it took me an hour and 1/2 to fill it ... i dont want to test it because i will have to build it all over again :D

[charge11595]

 Keep practicing! It should take no more than 5 minutes to build/ rebuild. Also, try my Fragmentation grenade, it's easier to build/rebuild.
BTW, the whole grenade should not fall apart, only the 4 gray and 4 white rods should.
