The V40 fragmentation grenade was manufactured in the Netherlands, and was in service in the Canadian Forces and the US Armed Forces. The V40 grenade is spherical in shape, high, and in diameter - approximately the size of a golf-ball. It has a safety pin and safety lever with a safety clip attached to the safety lever. The steel body of the grenade has 326 squares pressed into its inside face to produce separate fragments when the explosive fill is detonated. The V40 weighed and was issued primed from the manufacturer. Fuze delay time was four seconds. This grenade was considered lethal up to a radius of and dangerous up to from point of impact. It was commonly referred to as the ''Mini-Frag''.〔http://usmilitary.about.com/od/weapons/a/agrenade.htm〕 Due to its small size, a considerable number could be carried; however, its small size also made the weapon dangerous when wearing gloves, as the impact of the striker on the primer was difficult to feel. These grenades were in service from the late 1960s to at least 2008. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「V40 Mini-Grenade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
