		What is a hand grenade – well in a nutshell it is a weapon of war and a lethal one to for such a small exploding device.
		The possibility of survival of being in the path of a detonated hand grenade is pretty slim.To this day we still salute those who died for their country in the 1914 war.
		Grenades are so powerful that when they explode they cause so much damage to the area of which they have been thrown or aimed at.

	Hand grenade Summary
		The word "grenade" is derived from the Old French (pome) grenate ("pomegranate"), in reference to the general size of early grenades, and because its shrapnel pellets reminded soldiers of the seeds of this fruit.
		Classical "pineapple" grenades, such as the Mills bomb, used smokeless powder and cast-iron shells, which (in theory) would fragment along deliberately-cast weak points in the shell—although the pattern on the grenade body was actually intended to allow the user to have a firm grip on the grenade.

	Hand Grenades
		Hand grenades are the most used explosive munition during intense combat in urban areas.
		Stun hand grenades are used as diversionary or distraction devices during building and room clearing operations when the presence of noncombatants is likely or expected and the assaulting element is attempting to achieve surprise.
		The M84 stun hand grenade is designed to be thrown into a room (through an open door, a standard glass window, or other opening) to deliver a loud bang and bright flash sufficient enough to temporarily disorient personnel in the room.

		As an attack or raid reached an enemy trench the grenadiers would be responsible for racing down the trench and throwing grenades into each dugout they passed: this invariably succeeded in purging dugouts of their human occupants in an attempt at surrender (often not accepted as they were promptly shot or stabbed).
		Rifle grenades were simply attached to a rod and placed down the barrel of a rifle, or instead placed in a cup attached to the barrel, and were launched by the blast of a blank cartridge.
		Those grenades used by storm troopers utilised the shortest time fuse: a mere two seconds (so that their targets were given no time to seek shelter from the resultant explosion).

	Electronic hand grenade - Patent 4066019
		The electronic hand grenade as in claim 5, wherein for each type of hand grenade an outermost of said bodies is uniformly of a same size independent of a total number of the other of said concentrically arranged bodies.
		Aside from the fact that this type of hand grenade was very cumbersome and heavy and could be thrown only a relatively short distance, it was possible for the opposition to exactly estimate the detonation time and to take counter measures, whereby quite frequently the effect desired to be achieved led to no avail.
		Preferably for all kinds of such hand grenades (thus those with three, four, five, or more, explosive devices) the outermost shell body 23 is formed with the same size, so that the number of explosive charges cannot be determined or estimated by a difference in size.

		The hand grenade failed to detonate, thankfully, as the red handkerchief wrapped tightly around it didn't allow the firing pin to deploy fast enough.
		The agents analyzed the grenade, mapped the crime scene, and obtained a DNA sample from the handkerchief, which gave us a genetic profile of the attacker.
		On January 11, Arutyunian was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the grenade attack and for killing the Georgian police officer.

	Combined Rifle/Hand Grenades.
		Grenades that need to be launched by a blank or ballistite cartridge may still be encountered, particularly for riot munitions where live rounds traveling down range is undesirable.
		When using a ballistite fired grenade many modern rifles require the gas port of the barrel to be closed before firing which necessitates that the bolt be manually operated.
		I think that the most practical approach to produce a Rifle/Hand grenade is not to adapt a Hand grenade to rifle launch but to adapt a rifle grenade design to hand throwing.

	Hand Grenades
		Stun hand grenades are used as diversionary or distraction devices during building and room clearing operations when the presence of noncombatants is likely or expected and the assaulting element is attempting to achieve surprise.
		Once the grenade is thrown, the pressure on the safety lever is released, and the striker is forced to rotate on its axis by the striker spring, throwing the safety lever off.
		The M84 diversionary/flash-bang stun hand grenade is designed to be thrown into a room (through an open door, a standard glass window, or other opening) where it delivers a loud bang (170 to 180 decibels at 5 feet) and bright flash (1.5 to 2.5 million CP) sufficient to temporarily disorient personnel in the room.

	US Hand Grenades
		Some of these grenades, as with the TH M14 thermite (bottom center, and enlarged bottom left without fuze), come with metal straps which prevent rolling, and an M200A1 igniting fuse with only about 2 seconds of delay after safety lever release.
		A grenade works exactly the same way, the main essential difference being that the grenade's fuze is lighted by a mechanical device rather than a match.
		When the grenade is thrown (safety lever released), a spring throws off the safety lever and rotates the striker into the primer.

	Hand Grenade - www.canadiansoldiers.com
		While the rifle grenade is remembered today as an invention of the First World War, English muskets in the late 1600s were actually modified to become grenade projectors and may have been produced up until the late 1800s.
		Grenades were designed primarily to be thrown and therefore were small in size.
		Most grenades were issued with the fuze and primer already in place; unlike the earlier M36 grenades, for example, which had to be manually fitted with a fuze by the soldiers in the field.

		In the manual, Hand Bombers of 1918, the fuze delay time was stated as, "...it burns for 5 seconds plus or minus 3/5 second." The MK l body was fl in color being coated in a non-acid paint.
		This unique feature was the case in all TNT based grenades to include the MK I. In each of the TNT grenades a small wooden plug was fitted into the body and thus must first be removed and the items "fuzed up" for use.
		Grenade development continued in the United States where in the 50's a version that became known as the M26 series was manufactured.

	Scenario paintball - tactical hand grenades
		All the F-Bomb line of paintball hand grenades are guaranteed to work 99% of the time due to the super-high pressure paint packed into the rubber body.
		The earliest paintball hand grenades were actually explosive devices that used a charge to blast paint in every direction.
		The main cause of paintball grenade failure is that the grenade often lands too softly, either because the thrower doesn't give the grenade enough loft or because the grenade hits branches, leaves and other squishy material before coming to rest.

		"A hand grenade was tossed in the general direction of the main stage and landed within 100 feet of the podium," Paarmann said in the statement on the U.S. Embassy's Web site.
		"From initial qualified inspection, this hand grenade appears to be a live device that simply failed to function due to a light strike on the blasting cap induced by a slow deployment of the spoon activation device," Paarmann added in the statement.
		The grenade was wrapped in a "dark tartan-colored cloth," the embassy statement said.

		The most famous german hand grenade is probably the Stielhandgranate 24 ("stick hand grenade"), often referred to as the stick grenade or the potato masher by allied soldiers.
		A smaller handgrenade was the Eihandgranate 39 ("egg hand grenade").
		This method to attach the AT grenade to the tank proved to be less practical than intended, the weapon proved rather unsuccessful and unpopular, therefore further developments centered around the Hafthohlladung which seemed more promising.
