	Hand grenade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word "grenade" is derived from the Spanish granada ("pomegranate"), in reference to the general size of early grenades, and because its shrapnel pellets reminded soldiers of the seeds of this fruit.
		Early grenades were usually made of paper, ceramics, or primitive glass and could contain any sort of dangerous or unpleasant substance, ranging from botanical or animal toxins, skin irritants, lye, acids, flammable naptha, petroleum and unstable gunpowder, diseased matter, or parasite eggs (such as locusts, lice, fleas).
		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.

		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).

		Grenades were either thrown by hand (such as the Mills bomb which British soldiers used between World War I and the 1960s) or projected from a specially constructed tube.
		Hand grenades are generally fitted with a time fuse of about four seconds: a sufficient amount of time for the grenade to reach the target but not enough for the enemy to pick it up and throw it back.
		Rifle grenades were developed in World War I to achieve a greater range than was possible with the hand grenade, for use where the trench lines were too far apart for grenades to be thrown.

	Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Support fire is signalled by throwing a colored smoke grenade to call in an airstrike - a series of explosions in a short line along the smoke - or targeting a location with binoculars to call in an artillery strike - a series of explosions surrounding the area determined by the Field Op.
		Reflected rifle grenades have a high degree of agility and control over their targeting and are sometimes referred to as strategic “environmental” weapons.
		The grenade detonates five seconds after arming, so players commonly 'cook off' the grenade for several seconds before throwing, to give the enemy less time to dodge the explosion.
