Abstract

A training grenade having reversed threading connecting the fuze assembly and the housing. A tubular interior of the fuze assembly contains a two part fuze charge being five times the size of the fuze charge in a live grenade. The two part fuze charge consists of a delay charge and an output charge, where the delay charge burns down first and ignites the output charge, whose explosion simulates the explosion of a live grenade.
