DOOR BREACHING PROJECTILE
This invention describes embodiments of door breaching grenades (100,100a,100b,100c,100d). Each grenade comprises a projectile (101,101a,101b,101c,101d) coupled to a propulsion cartridge (105); each projectile comprises a shell (110), a body member (140) and an ogive (180). A safe-and-arm mechanism (150) is located in the body member. A seat member (160) and a plunger (166) are assembled on a forward face of the body member so that a leading end of the plunger is in contact with an inside tip surface of the ogive, or a hollow guide member (184) is integrally formed with an inside tip surface of the ogive. In the armed state, upon impacting on a door/barricade (5), the plunger or hollow guide/sleeve impinges on a detonator pin (164), which then sets off a chain of explosive charges (152, 120, 122) whilst the projectile is still outside the door/barricade. The grenade is made substantially of polymer parts.
Electronic stun grenade
An electronic stun grenade (10) comprising a casing (11) and a means for generating light (13), wherein the means for generating light (13) is mounted onto an exterior surface of the casing (11). This allows the interior volume defined by the casing (11) to be more effectively used for containing a means for powering the means for generating light (13). Particularly suited to applications requiring compact stun grenades, such as man portable or weapon launched devices.

IRRITATION MEMBER
An irritation member having a housing, wherein the housing has a front side and a rear side, as well as lateral surfaces connecting the front side and the rear side. The front side and rear side are larger than the lateral surfaces, thereby producing a parallelepipedal housing. The irritation member has blow-out openings on the lateral surfaces and an actuation element that is provided in a recess of the housing. In the event of non-actuation, the actuation element is thereby received in the recess of the housing and thus does not increase the size of the housing. As a result, the irritation member does not look like a conventional irritation member.

HAND GRENADE FOR PRODUCING SMOKE
A hand grenade for producing smoke, having a housing provided with outflow openings for the smoke to be produced. The hand grenade also has a fuse head having an igniter for igniting the hand grenade and an ignition and delay line. An active charge can be ignited via the fuse head and the ignition and delay line, creating a carrier gas in the housing. An effect region is also provided in the hand grenade, by means of which at least one effect module of the hand grenade can be supplied. The effect module contains an active ingredient that can be converted into its gaseous state of aggregation by the action of heat and can flow out of the outflow openings with the carrier gas.

ROLLING PREVENTER FOR GRENADES
A rolling preventer for reducing rolling movements of a grenade, wherein the rolling preventer has at least one hindering element, which counteracts rolling movements of the grenade and can consequently reduce the rolling movement. The rolling preventer according to the invention also has a clearance, by which the rolling preventer can be attached to a grenade. For this purpose, the grenade is inserted through the clearance and the rolling preventer is thereby fastened to the grenade. Also proposed is a grenade, with a housing, an actuating element and a safety device, wherein the grenade is equipped with a rolling preventer according to the invention.

NON-PYROTECHNIC DIVERSIONARY DEVICE
The disclosed technology regards a reusable, non-pyrotechnic diversionary device having a housing assembly which receives and supports a pressure manifold, activation assembly, and a lighting assembly. The housing assembly includes a vessel, a main chassis, and a transparent lens. Positioned within the main chassis is a pressure manifold which supports a compressed gas source. A puncture pin is provided in the activation assembly, and aligned with the compressed gas source to facilitate puncture of the source. The disclosed technology further regards a reusable, non-pyrotechnic diversionary assembly having a housing assembly and a reloading tool. The reloading tool has an externally threaded inner body with an aperture at its distal end sized to receive the puncture pin, and an outer body sized and internally threaded to rotatably receive a portion of the inner body in its shaft, allowing the inner body to traverse through and from the shaft at its distal end. A threaded interface is provided on the outer body of the reloading tool to align with the first support structure of the pressure manifold. The inner body rotationally translates within the outer body to position the distal end of the inner body relative to the puncture pin and allow it to translate the puncture pin from an active position to a secured position.
