An apparatus and method for strategically illuminating a darkened area. The present invention may be used by law enforcement to illuminate an area without law enforcement officials having to reveal their position, which is the case if flashlights or other lighting means are used. The light emitting device comprises a substantially transparent housing. A circuit comprising light emitting means and battery means is contained within the housing. The circuit further comprises a time delay means, which delays the energizing of the light emitting means. The circuit comprises a switch which, upon activation, closes the circuit providing current from the battery. |

An airburst hand grenade constructed so as to jump 1–2 m above the ground before detonating. The hand grenade includes a detonator, a warhead, and support legs for raising the hand grenade from a horizontal position to an upright position once it has landed after being thrown. The detonator includes a delay unit, an upper charge which releases the support legs, a jump charge which propels the warhead into the air, and an explosive cartridge which initiates a main charge. Because the grenade detonates above ground, the fragments are spread essentially horizontally and at an angle to the ground and consequently attack the target from above, which results in a much larger target surface and the capability of spreading fragments behind a shelter. |

A diversion device capable of generating a disorientating flash and a disorientating sound without an explosion has a housing with a cavity containing an inert gas, a piston and a powder. The powder creates the flash via ignition after exiting the device. The device also includes a mechanism configured to ensure the powder encompasses the device upon exit and does is not dispersed in a substantially horizontal plane. In addition, the device may include devices capable of creating a disorientating sound as the inert gas escapes the device. |

Mines are fabricated in the form of munitions, specifically including cartridges for firearms and several types of grenade, including both hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades, the cartridges containing either very high energy explosives or very high temperature burning materials, that upon ignition will at least destroy the firearm in which fired or may exert lethal force against the user, while such mines in the form of grenades will explode immediately upon being activated rather than exhibit the expected time delay, both types of mines being supplied surreptitiously to an enemy force for its unknowing use, thereby to direct the lethal effect of such munitions against those enemy forces rather than the friendly forces as the enemy forces would have intended. |

The present invention comprises a casing with an opened end for receiving a liquid and a holding end where the liquid is stored. Between the open end and the holding end there narrow neck. A ball is placed into the opened end of the casing, so that lodging the ball into the neck will seal the neck area so that the liquid contained within the holding area will remain in the holding area until the ball is dislodged upon impact. Attached to the opened end of the casing is a nozzle. The nozzle serves two purposes, first it assures that the liquid contained within the casing does not quickly run out of the device upon impact minimizing the spray area covered by the liquid. Additionally the nozzle contains a number of holes distributed throughout the surface of said nozzle, so that the passage of liquid through the nozzle will cause the device to flail erratically, further maximizing the area sprayed by the device. |

A training device for simulating the action of stun grenades and the like is provided by combining a delay cartridge with a conversion fitting that installs in a grenade body. A firing assembly fitted to the grenade body over the delay cartridge is percussively initiated through release of a hammer to activate a primer located on the end of the cartridge. The cartridge contains a delay-burning compound that subsequently activates a pyrotechnic charge. A suitable application is for training in the use of flash/bang training devices or “stun” grenades. |

A rapid-release smoke hand grenade comprising a manually actuatable igniter head (A) and an active mass member (B), wherein the striker located on the igniter head to initiate the chain of pyrotechnical activity is loaded by means of a safety clip so as to be safe to handle, the smoke-forming means located in the active mass member is in the form of combustible disc-shaped or disc sector-shaped thin leaves (flares) coated with smoke-forming agent based on red phosphorus which practically fill the canister of the active mass member around a capsule for the ignition/bursting unit located therein, the heavy components of this rapid-release smoke hand grenade are held together by connecting elements which are stable when it bursts, and the essential components of the grenade preferably consist of aluminium. In a likewise preferred embodiment the ignition/bursting charge of the ignition/bursting unit consists of a classical detonating charge of aluminium and potassium perchlorate in order to minimise the combustion gases evolved when it reacts. |

A grenade body, in particular for hand grenades, comprising a muti-part fragmentation body which forms a hollow body and which comprises metal particles (7) embedded in plastics material, and an outer casing of plastics material which encloses the fragmentation body, wherein the parts (1, 2) of the fragmentation body interengage positively at the connecting surfaces (6). The preferably substantially spherical metal particles (7) project with only a small distance beyond the connecting surface (6) when the fragmentation body is assembled. In the region of the conecting surfaces (6), the inner layer of particles is displaced relative to the outer layer of particles by approximately half a particle diameter (FIG. 5). |

Crowd control projectile and a method of ejecting flash and acoustic shock charges from said crowd control projectile. The projectile comprises a housing containing a fuse acting on a delay charge for igniting an ejector charge and at least one charge which can be ejected from the housing without destroying the housing. The projectile has a lid which is blown off by a slight pressure build-up in the container and at least one flash and acoustic shock charge arranged in a tube which is disposed in the housing together with an ejector and scatter charge which is ignited by the delay charge via a fuse cord. The crowd control projectile may also contain a smoke or irritant substance charge disposed in a tube or separate compartment of the projectile which is adapted to be ignited by said delay charge.In an alternate embodiment of the crowd control projectile the upper half of the projectile is constructed as described hereinabove and is mechanically connected to a lower half. A delay charge is interposed between the upper and lower half and ignites the lower half after a predetermined period of time. The lower half in turn has an ejector charge which is ignited by the interposed delay charge which in turn ejects at least one charge from the lower half of the projectile. |
