How powerful is the pearl grenade? Why is it called the scariest grenade?

Hand grenades are an essential combat weapon for infantry on the battlefield. Hand grenades can not only cause huge damage to the enemy, but also play a huge role in defense or retreat. It can be said to be both offensive and defensive. Due to the progress of the times, the types of grenades are also different, and grenades adapted to various battlefields have been manufactured, among which pearl grenades are one of many grenades.

Although the pearl grenade has a nice name, it is not filled with pearls, but hundreds or thousands of steel balls. This grenade was launched by the Swiss Rogge Ammunition Technology Company. The maximum lethality of this grenade is within 20 meters. If there is anyone within 20 meters, it will be instantly beaten into a "sieve".

The core of the pearl grenade contains 50 grams of Pentolite high explosive, which is equivalent to 200-300 grams of TNT explosive strength. The outside is wrapped with layers of steel balls, and there are also many metal fragments inside. . The total weight of the pearl grenade is about 330 grams, which is nearly 1/3 lighter than the HG85 grenade. It feels very comfortable to hold, is small in weight, and has high lethality. The safe distance to use is about 60 meters. If you use this grenade to throw it from a small distance, you can easily injure yourself. In urban combat and in places with many houses, this pearl grenade can play a greater role.

Since pearl grenades are made of steel balls, the volume and weight of each steel ball are almost the same. At the moment of explosion, each steel ball will run at high speed at its original initial speed, and air resistance It is relatively small compared to steel balls, and the steel balls are very smooth and move faster. If it explodes, it is difficult to dodge. The disadvantage of such an excellent grenade is that the production cost is too high, which is not conducive to mass production.

Pearl grenades can be called one of the most beautiful grenades in the world, and are also recognized as anti-human weapons by countries around the world. It would be unimaginable if the manufacturing technology of pearl grenades fell into the hands of terrorists.
