Combat Hand Grenades TWO SYSTEMS – TWO OPERATIONS

COMBAT HANDGRENADES

FRAGMENTATION / DEFENSIVE HANDGRENADES

THE DESIRED EFFECT – LETHALITY OR INCAPACITAION – IS ACHIEVED BY A PREFORMED FRAGMENTATION MATRIX.

FRAGMENTATION HANDGRENADES ARE USED TO DEFEAT SOFT TARGETS IN OPEN BATTLEFIELD AND ALSO IN BUILT-UP AREAS. IFTHIS TYPE OF HANDGRENADE IS USED INDOOR IT MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE PREFORMED FRAGMENTS CANPENETRATE WOOD OR PLASTERBOARD WALLS, HENCE FOR SUCH ROOMS THE USAGE OF AN OFFENSIVE OR BLAST HANDGRENADE ISRECOMMENDED.

BLAST / OFFENSIVE HANDGRENADES

THE DESIRED EFFECT – LETHALITY OR INCAPACITAION – IS ACHIEVED BY THE HIGH PRESSURE EFFECT OF THE EXPLOSIVE.

OFFENSIVE OR BLAST HANDGRENADES ARE USED FOR OFFENSIVE ACTIONS IN URBAN AREAS AND IN CLOSE QUARTERS BATTLE TODEFEAT SOFT TARGETS IN A ROOM, A BUNKER OR IN CAVES. THERE ARE DIFFERENT SIZES OF HANDGRENADES AS WELL ASMODULAR HANDGRENADES FOR VARYING OPERATION AREAS AVAILABLE.
