Grenades can be high explosive, smoke, chemical, incendiary or riot control.
The fuzing system is either impact or delay.
Components include body and fuze.
The fuze includes the safety lever and safety pin with pull ring.
-Grenades found in the field should be considered armed and dangerous.
-The only safety device for grenades is the safety pin.
-Any grenade encountered in the field will be blown in place (BIP).
-If a BIP is not acceptable, then an attempt should be made to replace the safety pin (if available).
-The safety lever must be taped in place.
