Grenade

Grenades are a type of explosive weapon typically thrown within the target's range, but can also refer to projectiles shot out of grenade launchers. Generally, grenades consist of an explosive charge, a detonating mechanism, and a firing pin inside the grenade to trigger the detonating mechanism. Once thrown, 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.

There are several types of grenades like the fragmentation (frag), high explosive (HE) concussion and smoke grenades.
