A hand-throwable effect-producing body with a manually graspable housing body, a manually operable triggering device having a spring-loaded impact body, an ignition device initiatable by the triggering device and comprises an ignition charge, a delay device is initiatable by the ignition device and comprises a delay charge and a delay line, and a main charge configured to be initiated directly or indirectly by the delay charge. The impact body is configured to be manually moved along the longitudinal axis thereof counter to a spring force into a preloaded position and to be releasably arrested there and to be released by manually operating a triggering element of the triggering device, such that it can shoot out of its preloaded position along the longitudinal axis against an axial stop and thereby initiate the ignition charge.

A hook for deploying a pin-and-lever detonation device, such as a flash bang grenade, and a method for use of the hook, is disclosed. The hook includes a base for attaching the hook to the side of a firearm, such as at a hand guard, grip, body, or accessory rail. It further includes an arm extending substantially laterally from the base. A recess is defined between the base and the arm, structured to receive a pull-ring of the pin-and-lever detonation device and provide leverage for a user pulling the pull-ring. A lip is formed at an end of the arm, structured to curve away from the arm and guide a pull-ring of the pin-and-lever detonation device into the recess. The disclosed hook enables an operator to deploy a grenade one-handed while simultaneously keeping his firearm readily available and covering his own person.

A single use diversionary device having a semi-hollow barrel with a closed first end forming a pressure-resistant bulkhead and a second open end that receives one or more powder filled cartridge assemblies. A pivotable gate is mounted at the second open end of the barrel and configured to direct an explosion in more than one direction. A cap containing electronic delay circuitry is attached to the first closed end.
