ABSTRACT:
A paint dispersing training grenade includes a grenade body having dispersing passages extending between a central bore and an external surface of the grenade body, a plug threadedly received in one end of the bore, a piston resiliently urged by a spring toward the plug, a rupturable colorant containing capsule positioned between the piston and the plug, a separable release lever releasably pivotal on the grenade body and engaged with an abutment disk on a shaft extending from the piston, and an inertial delay mechanism engaged between the grenade body and the piston. The delay mechanism includes pivotable delay levers engaged with the piston at one end and having wheels rollably engaging a surface of the grenade body at another end. When the release lever is separated, movement of the piston by the spring is resisted by startup inertia of the wheels in rotating. When the inertia is overcome, the piston forceably ruptures the capsule and propels the colorant out of the grenade body through the dispersion passages.
