Abstract
A stun grenade includes a tubular housing to slidably receive a munitions canister. A cup-shaped end cap closes one end of the housing and frictionally engages an outer wax-coated surface of the housing adjacent the end. At the other end a fuze retention disk is retained in the housing and has a threaded opening to receive any one of several possible fuze assemblies. When using a manually operable fuze, the handle thereof is provided with a color-coded coating to identify the nature of the explosive charge provided in the grenade. The handle also has one or more lumps formed thereon to provide a tactile code, consistent with the color, to identify the grenade type. The fuze retention disk includes spikes establishing a fixed spacing between the munitions canister and the fuze held in the fuze retention disk.
