fragmentation grenade
Shrapnel-dispersing munition
A fragmentation grenade is an explosive weapon designed to scatter metal fragments when detonated, causing casualties over a wide area.
The outer casing—typically scored or embedded with metal pieces—breaks apart on explosion, propelling shrapnel in all directions.
Standard infantry weapon since World War I: He pulled the pin and tossed the fragmentation grenade into the bunker.
Often shortened to frag grenade or simply frag.
