frag grenade
Thrown lethal explosive
A frag grenade is a hand-thrown explosive designed to kill or wound by scattering metal fragments—shrapnel—over a wide area.
The casing is typically scored or contains embedded metal pieces that become lethal projectiles upon detonation.
Standard military issue in most armies: He pulled the pin on the frag grenade and lobbed it into the bunker.
In video games, often shortened to simply frag.
