" Working of hand grenade " . Many people wants to know how a hand grenade works. In previous post we have discussed about how ak 47 works .
Hand grenades are often used in wars and for practicing purpose . So in this post we are going to discuss how a hand grenade works and the process of working grenade. It is a small bomb which is thrown by hands and got blast with in 4-5 seconds.
PARTS OF A HAND GRENADE :
1.) PIN :- There's the pin, which holds the handle on.
2.) HANDLE.
3.) FUSE :- which consists of a heavy metal shell with explosives inside.
WORKING :
In the grenade there is a pin which doesn't do anything. It's just holding the handle in place. This handle works as a key. Once it comes off, the grenade is armed and there's no turning
back.
With the pin removed, the only thing holding the handle on is your hand. Once you throw the grenade, the
handle flies off. Due to this , that releases a spring that throws the striker down into the percussion cap. The impact ignites the cap creating a small spark. The spark ignites a slow burning material inside the fuse. the fuse ignites the detonator which sends off a small explosion inside the grenade.
The detonators explosion sparks the main explosive charge inside the grenade, and that blows it apart. Flying
metal fragments from the heavy metal casing are what do the damage.
