GRENADES

Grenades includes hand deployed and launcher deployed grenade bodies, components, and related accessories represented here primarily by inert, dummy, or cutaway examples. These items span military, law enforcement, and training contexts, reflecting both offensive and nonlethal grenade types such as smoke, chemical agent, riot control, and practice models produced from the mid twentieth century to more recent periods.

This category contains complete grenade bodies without fuzes, training and inert grenades, cutaway instructional examples, adapters, and associated launch or mounting hardware. Many pieces were manufactured specifically for training, display, or instructional use, while others are deactivated service patterns preserved for study. For collectors and researchers, grenades are significant as compact, self contained ordnance systems, offering insight into fuze design, payload containment, and evolving doctrines around area effect munitions across different nations and eras.
