	Cluster bomb grenade with means for spin rate attenuation - Patent 4715282
		When in operation the grenade is rejected from its cargo projectile the telescoping wings unfold and extend, whereby the spin rate of the grenade is gradually reduced.
		In the unarmed state of the grenade the path of the striker pin is blocked and upon release of the grenade from the cargo projectile, the blockage is automatically removed whereupon the grenade is armed.
		Upon release of the grenade the drag tape 9 unfolds and by the combined action of the spin of the grenade and the drag of tape 9 there occurs a revolution of striker pin 9 inside block 6 whereby the pin is unscrewed and retracted from its engagement with slider 10 and retainer members 13.

	OtherSpace: Explosive: Grenades
		There are three components of all hand grenades: (1) the body that contains the filler or fragmentation, (2) the filler that is composed of a chemical or explosive substance, and (3) the fuze assembly that causes the grenade to ignite or explode by detonating the filler.
		The grenade is used for concussion effects in confined areas, for blasting, and for demolition tasks.
		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.

		Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France in August 1944 was an almost entirely American affair.

		Operations in Burma over the remainder of 1942 and in 1943 were a study of military frustration.

	Low profile grenade fuze - Patent 4285277
		This invention relates to a low profile fuze for hand grenades and is intended to preserve the symmetry of the grenade body by avoiding the need for a long protruberance such as identified with fuzes known to the prior art.
		In operation, the grenade is grasped in such a manner as to remove the safety pin 51 from the fuze body 10 with a ring 47 and press the safety lever 42 down against the body of the grenade.
		As soon as the grenade has been thrown, the safety lever 42 is free to swing outwardly by the exertion of pressure of the spring 50 appended to the pivot in 44.

	WWII Chapter 42
		By forcing Schlemm to concentrate the German forces against the Canadians, he had reduced the resistance to Operation `Grenade', the attack by which the US 9th Army would cross the Roer and advance to the Rhine at Dusseldorf.
		`Grenade' was now due for February 23rd after being postponed from February 10th because of the massive flooding of the Eifel area caused by the German engineers opening the valves on the Roer dams as they retreated.
		The whole operation since February 8th in the 21st Army Group sector had lost the Germans 53,000 prisoners, but the Canadians and British alone had in the same time suffered losses of over 15,500 killed and wounded.

	WGR Game Directory: Operation Shadow
		Operation Shadow uses a standard semi-circular meter to gauge how far you will throw an explosive, but you must hold down the button for a very long time to get any appreciable distance on your throw — and if you don’t hit your target spot-on, you’ll just waste a valuable grenade.
		Though Operation Shadow purportedly features a range of usable vehicles, we were unable to test them in the short time we played.
		Operation Shadow is played from a slightly elevated over-the-shoulder viewpoint, so the action is always squarely in front of you; no camera controls were enabled for the preview build.

		The grenade’s 37,000-rpm right-hand spin stabilizes it during flight and applies enough rotational force to arm the fuze.
		To unload the grenade launcher, the grenadier must first depress the barrel latch and move the barrel forward.

		Shortly following the Black Hawk crash, the media reported the news of two soldiers killed in their vehicle after running over a homemade bomb as they made route across a major highway in the town of Fallujah, and later that day, yet another soldier perished when an explosive device hit a convoy stationed in Baghdad.
		However, as the stories of the deaths of one soldier after another briefly pass across the front page of the newspaper, I wonder if we are simply forgetting the current mission of the U.S. military operation abroad or if we know what it is at all.
		Although many have lambasted the president for poor decision-making, the rising death toll will continue to add up, until ultimately, people realize that these are not just headlines, but that these are real soldiers' lives.

		The discussion of the British Operation "Veritable" and the American Operation "Grenade" are succinct but do succeed in linking these operations together.

		The operation was carried out in an open field rather than inside a hospital, so that if the grenade blew up it would be less dangerous for the medical staff.
