MULTI MODE HAND GRANADE
Defensive Mode: In the defensive role, a grenade would be used when enemy troops are in open and own troops are protected by defences. Use of a Fragmenting type (Splintering) Grenade is ideal. Offensive Mode: In the offensive role, a grenade would be used during the final stages of the assault at a distance between 30-50 meters from the line of enemy defences. Invariably enemy troops would be in trenches/ bunkers and own troops in the open. Use of a Blast type (Non Splintering) Grenade would have a greater effect in a confined space like trenches/ bunker
