ABSTRACT:
A grenade with dual fuses for simulating small arms fire comprises: a hollow cylindrical housing including a first threaded end and a second open end; a main filler charge being located within the housing proper; means for covering the end of the main filler charge which is adjacent the housing open end; means being compressively connected to the housing open end for securing the main filler charge within the housing; a main igniting fuse being fitted onto the housing threaded end; a cup shaped member being located inside the housing in between the main igniting fuse and the main filter charge; a propelling charge being located in between the cup shaped member, the housing threaded end, and the main igniting fuse; a first straight fuse being responsive to the main igniting fuse and being located in between the main igniting fuse and the main filler charge; a second L-shaped fuse being responsive to the main igniting fuse and being located in between the main igniting fuse, the propelling charge, and the cup shaped member, the first fuse igniting the main filler charge after the second fuse ignites the propelling charge such that the already ignited propelling charge ejects the main filler charge along with the already ignited first fuse from the housing via the housing open end only before the first fuse has ignited the main filler charge. A feature of the invention is that the propelling charge is an annular cylinder.
