6.9 Time Delay Grenade<br />

This delay mechanism makes it possible to use an <strong>or</strong>dinary grenade as a time bomb.<br />

Materials Required<br />

Grenade<br />

Fuse c<strong>or</strong>d<br />

Imp<strong>or</strong>tant: Fuse c<strong>or</strong>d must be the type that burns completely. Slow burning improvised fuse c<strong>or</strong>d<br />

(section 6.7) is suitable. Safety fuse is not satisfact<strong>or</strong>y, since its outer covering does not burn.<br />

Procedure<br />

1. Bend end of safety lever upward to f<strong>or</strong>m a hook. Make a<br />

single loop of fuse c<strong>or</strong>d around the center of the grenade<br />

body and safety lever. Tie a knot of the nonslip variety at<br />

the safety lever.<br />

Note: The loop must be tight enough to hold the safety lever in position when the pin is removed.<br />

2. Measuring from the knot along the free length of the fuse c<strong>or</strong>d, measure off a length of fuse c<strong>or</strong>d that<br />

will give the desired delay time. Cut off the excess fuse c<strong>or</strong>d.<br />

How to Use<br />

1. Place hand around grenade and safety lever so safety<br />

lever is held in place. Carefully remove pin.
