A throwable or shootable device that can be used in a multitude of military and police applications. Different types of grenades include fragmentation grenades, which send shrapnel flying in all directions, maiming and killing within a certain radius, flash grenades that blind and disorient targets, smoke grenades, which are used on the ground by troops to communicate with troops who are in the air, according to color. Smoke grenades can also be used to provide concealment during movement. Gas grenades can be used to kill via delivery of poison gases, or they can be used to disperse groups of people through the delivery of "tear gas." Incendiary grenades are typically used to disable enemy equipment, as they usually contain thermite and can go straight through an engine block. Most grenades are either deployed by hand or shot from a hand held or turret mounted launcher.
