Яким є радіус дійсного ураження ручними гранатами?

The effective casualty radius of a hand grenade is relatively small when compa- red to that of other weapons. Effective casualty radius is defined as the radius of a circular area around the point of detonation within which at least 50 percent of the exposed personnel will become casualties. The effective casualty radius varies with the type of hand grenade used, so the casualties can and do occur at distances greater than this radius.

З чого складається ручна граната?

The hand grenade consists of a body, fuse assembly, and filler. The fuse assembly consists of a fuse body, safety lever, safety pin, striker spring, primer, delay element, and detonator or igniter. All casualty-producing grenades have a 4-to 5- second delay. Because of this short delay, personnel must stay alert when arming and throwing hand grenades.
