ABSTRACT:
A different, or additional safety mechanism is provided for hand grenades and other munitions. Illustratively, a latch, pivotally mounted on the safety handle or explosive filling plug of a conventional fragmentation grenade immobilizes the otherwise free end of the grenade's safety handle. In this way, the ring and safety pin combination can be eliminated because the latch now provides an alternate safety. The latch also prevents the dangerous field abuse of carrying grenades from accouterment or uniforms by means of the safety handles or the safety pin rings.
