During WWII, some Japanese army hand grenades were ARMED by tapping it's arming device on the Japanese steel helmet. If you watch closely at some WWII vintage (actual footage) film you'll notice advancing Japanese troops (probably in Manchuria) striking their steel helmets before throwing their grenades. They do this very quickly, and most viewers don't catch it, as it looks to routine, and the narrator mentions nothing of it.
But, that's what they're doing alright...arming their grenades, by striking their helmets with them.
