Grenades are anti-personnel explosive weapons that get most of their killing power by shrapnel (little pieces of metal packed inside the grenade casing). Grenades are used during wars to take out a group of soldiers. They can do a lot of damage to unprotected skin, unarmored vehicles, and thin sheets of wood or metal. Grenades have a fuse, so it is possible to pick up a grenade and throw it back or away before it explodes. Advancing body armor designs are now able to withstand shrapnel.
