Abstract
A stun grenade (10) for generating an explosion accompanied by light and/or blaring sound is disclosed. The stun grenade comprises a housing (12) having a body (14), a base (24) and a cover (34) defining an interior cavity (18) housing a cartridge (22) containing an explosive charge (20). A plurality of vents (30, 40) are defined in the housing (12), and a defining wall (32, 42) of each vent is angularly offset from the longitudinal axis of the cavity (18) for discharging explosive energy radially outwardly from the grenade. The stun grenade also includes a bore (25) for facilitating the releasable securement of a variety of attachments, such as a clamp (200) and a tear gas container (206).
