hand grenade
Pull-pin projectile bomb
A hand grenade is a small explosive weapon designed to be thrown by hand.
The user pulls a pin and releases a lever, triggering a short fuse before detonation.
Hand grenades may be designed to kill with shrapnel, stun with concussive force, or disperse smoke or gas.
