Grenade: 1) A large, portly woman of an unsightly nature and violent disposition.

Explosive hand grenades are used for attacking the personnel in foxholes, trenches, bunkers, pillboxes, or other fortified positions and in street fighting. Another major class is chemical and gas grenades, which usually burn rather than explode.

Different from the grenades Bruno Mars sings about, the “Jersey Shore” house coined the phrase “grenades” as a way to describe unattractive women. Or as Mike “The Situation” says “a bigger ugly chick” that he sees out in clubs.

RPG prices double; grenade prices quadruple A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher cost $900 last March and a single grenade was priced at around $100. Today an RPG launcher is worth $2,000 and each grenade $500.

…of explosive grenade is the fragmentation grenade, whose iron body, or case, is designed to break into small, lethal, fast-moving fragments once the TNT core explodes. Such grenades usually weigh no more than 2 pounds (0.9 kg).

As nouns the difference between grenade and bomb is that grenade is (obsolete) a pomegranate while bomb is an explosive device used or intended as a weapon.

Once the soldier throws the grenade, the safety lever releases, the striker throws the safety lever away from the grenade body as it rotates to detonate the primer. The primer explodes and ignites the fuze (sometimes called the delay element). The fuze burns down to the detonator, which explodes the main charge.

Hand grenades are regulated under the National Firearms Act (“NFA”), a federal law first passed in 1934 and amended by the Crime Control Act of 1968. The 1968 amendments made it illegal to possess “destructive devices,” which includes grenades.

The bullet will penetrate the armor of the grenade causing the explosive to go off making the explosion kind of how a normal grenade works. So yes it will explode if you shoot it.

The sheer volume of the detonation also causes temporary deafness in the victim and also disturbs the fluid in the ear, causing a loss of balance. The concussive blast still has the ability to cause injuries, and the heat created may ignite flammable materials.

A long range kinetic impact / projectile stun weapon fired from a standard 40mm grenade launcher. The round breaks apart on impact administering an electric shock resulting in severe pain and collapse.

U.S. Army designers figured if you could throw a ball, you could also throw a bomb. But throwing is throwing. And over the years, U.S. Army weaponeers have designed grenades shaped just like balls in order to capitalize on soldiers’ existing experience with sports such as football and baseball.

Under the current rules, a major league baseball weighs between 5 and 51⁄4 ounces (142 and 149 g), and is 9 to 91⁄4 inches (229–235 mm) in circumference ( 27⁄8–3 in or 73–76 mm in diameter).

“All of our medics that work at the basic training site are seasoned medics.” Trainees are instructed to throw two grenades from the bunker and immediately take cover. They use fragmentation type of grenade so in combat, it’s the shrapnel that is meant to cause harm within 4-5 seconds of pulling the pin.

The M69 practice hand grenade simulates the M67-series of fragmentation hand grenades for training purposes. The M69 grenade emits a small puff of white smoke after a delay of 4 to 5 seconds and makes a loud popping noise. The grenade body can be used repeatedly by replacing the fuze assembly.

Explosions can produce classic injury patterns from blunt and penetrating mechanisms to several organ systems (1, 2). Hand grenade explosion causes blast injuries. Hand grenades will be fragmented upon detonation, therefore, it maximizes the damage from flying debris (shrapnel).

Customary international humanitarian law the anti-personnel use of incendiary weapons (i.e. against combatants) is prohibited, unless it is not feasible to use a less harmful weapon to render a person hors de combat.

Incendiary Grenades are devices that burn at extremely high temperatures through a violent chemical reaction. They may be filled with materials such as thermite, white phosphorus, or thickened fuel.

White phosphorus munitions are per se a lawful weapon that can be used against the enemy consistent with the normal laws of targeting. However, white phosphorus munitions, like any lawful weapon, can be used in numerous unlawful manners, such as to specifically target civilians or launch attacks indiscriminately.
