ABSTRACT:
An impact actuated nonlethal hand grenade is disclosed having a flexible, preferably natural rubber resilient casing containing a pressurized marking fluid. The casing has an opening and a ball received within the opening, whereby, when the hand grenade is thrown, the subsequent impact of the grenade with an object and the resulting hydrostatic shock through the fluid within the grenade will dislodge the ball from the opening allowing the discharge of fluid from the opening and onto surrounding objects. A crimp located about midway along a selected length of tubing forms first and second segments of that tube each pinched off and sealed at one end and open at the other end and the marking fluid is forced under pressure into the open ends of the sealed segments of tube stretching the sidewall of the segments. Balls or similar plugs are inserted into the open ends of the segments while maintaining the fluid pressure within the segments thereby forming a joined pair of sealed pressurized containers of marking fluid. Banding together of the sealed pressurized containers and folding the free segment tube ends over to pinch the tubes shut near the balls aids retention of the balls in their respective tubes. Capping the folded tube ends and a retaining pin holding the cap helps to maintain the folds and aid retention of the plugs until the grenade is ready for use.
