A hand grenade is handy and highly effective weapon at destroying things. It is an anti-personnel weapon that explodes a short time after release. Soldiers resort to the use of grenade to blow up things out of sight or far from their surrounding. The word “grenade” is derived from the French word for pomegranate, as shrapnel reminded soldiers of the seeds. Grenadiers were originally soldiers who specialized in throwing grenades. Some grenades are fired from rifles or from purpose-designed grenade launchers.
