Need Help Identifying this Prop - Universal Solider

[Art Andrews]

Trying to figure out what the small black cylinder on the belt of the UniSol is. I assume it is a found item. It looks like it has a handle on it.,, but that is about all I can tell.

Hard to tell. It looks like it has a spring loaded top like the spoon on a grenade, or it could be a safety cover for some sort of remote detonator switch. It kind of reminds me of the old plastic cases we had in the Army to keep lit cyalume sticks in, you twisted open an aperture to let light out for map reading or what not at night.

Was it ever actually used in the movie or just for looks?
