Hand Grenades

Hand grenades are small explosive or smoke-producing devices thrown by hand, using a fuse or striker to detonate after release. A weapon belongs here when the infobox of its cited article names it a hand grenade. It excludes launched grenades and mines, which sit in their own groups. Weapons in this group are placed by what their own cited article states, so a visitor browsing hand grenades sees only systems whose sources name that role, and can compare them across eras, makers and the forces that used them.
