#REDIRECT [[Grenade]]
'''Frag Grenades''' (or Fragmentation Grenades) are small, anti-personnel explosive devices designed to explode in such a way as to force the enemy to keep down while in cover.
 
 
 
==Construction and Detonation==
 
Frag Grenades are very simple, consisting of a centeral explosive core with a fuse inserted, wrapped by iron or ceramic bands, and further covered by a sheathing. Upon detonation, irregular chunks of the casing and bands are propelled at high velocity into the nearby surrounding area. Often, the normal time delay fuze is removed in favor of a more sophisticated movement-sensetive detonator for use in a booby-trap. They are cheap and easy to make and as such are available throughout the [[Imperium]].
 
 
 
==Effects and Distribution==
 
They give any unit an advantage when assaulting into enemies in cover. Most units in Imperial armies may be armed with them and many other armies make use of similar weapons for the same effect.
 
 
 
==Examples of Use==
 
It would be a mammoth task to list every unit which can use Frag Grenades, so only special characters are listed here.
