1 INTRODUCTION: Hnd or rifle projected. Min chrge includes HE, riot-control gents, smokes, nd incendiry nd pyrotechnic mterils. Fuzing is vried nd my be time-dely or impct fuzed. Are esily nd frequently boobytrpped. Prctice grendes re usully externlly identicl to the grendes they simulte SAFETY: Do not drop or jr. Do not disturb, except remotely, until fuze condition cn be determined. Do not hndle unless sfety pin nd fly-off lever in plce nd secured. Wit t lest 30 minutes before pproching suspected dud-fired grende, deteriortion/dmpness my prolong the burning time of the dely. Do not ttempt to remove the fuze from dud-fired grende. Do not ttempt to replce the sfety pin in dud-fired grende. Mnully hndle n rmed grende s lst resort nd fter considering ll methods of remote disposl. Wer protective equipment with known/suspected chemicl grendes. Do not pproch smoking WP grende unless bsolutely necessry. Move n embedded grende remotely, it my contin piezoelectric fuzing system. Do not dispose by functioning normlly, my be boobytrpped. Observe cover nd sfe distnces before disposl. Frgments my be projected over rdius of 650 feet (198 meters). EOD CONSIDERATIONS ANTI-ARMOR/HEAT: GRENADES Armed or dmged nti-rmor/het grendes should not be touched. Stb-sensitive detontor ssembly contins substntil booster chrge. Ensure shped chrge cone is crushed during disposl. Ensure presence of fuze-cover securing stble prior to removing hndle. FRAGMENTATION: Fly-off lever prtilly relesed dngerous condition. Percussion cp not struck sufficiently hrd. Pyrotechnic fuse not ignited or fils to burn completely to detontor. Fuze loosens or unscrews on contct seprting detontor nd min chrge. Frgmenttion grendes my be single thickness of steel deeply serrted or double thickness with inner-notched frgmenttion coil. IMPACT FRAGMENTATION: In ddition to conventionl design, hve dded ll-wys cting fuze Armed ll-wys cting fuzes my be sensitive to movement Mechnicl fuze my be fully rmed nd functionl even when dely detontor hs filed.

2 GRENADES RIFLE: Nose fuzes on fired unexploded rifle grendes re likely to be dmged. Observe shped chrge precutions until positive identifiction. Often difficult to identify wrhed type, e.g., HEAT wrheds my not hve their norml chrcteristic profile. Fuze mechnisms vry widely nd not redily identifible unless mrked. CHEMICAL/SMOKE: Smoke grendes re usully mke of thin sheet metl Riot-control grendes hve emission holes covered with tpe, sphericl plstic, or synthetic rubber cse. Incendiry grendes re usully sheet metl. SPIN-STABILIZED (CANISTER/CARTRIDGE TYPE LAUNCHED): During demolition, ensure unfired grendes re not lunched. Prtilly impcted fuzes my mke unexploded grendes sensitive to shock. Despite size, these cn be lethl t significnt distnces. Observe shped precutions unless positively identified.
