ABSTRACT:
This hand grenade comprises a timer for preserving the user's safety when throwing the missile by breaking the pyrotechnic train of the fuse a stabilizing system utilizing the concurrent effects of a weighted ogive and a spread-out empennage adapted when released and operative to brake the missile by aerodynamic effect, thus improving the efficiency of the missile when striking with a low incidence a horizontal surface such as the roof of an armored vehicle. The fins of the empennage are released when removing a safety pin, thus causing the missile to be stabilized in a substantially vertical axial position.
