  3. The Invention The hand grenade is a small bomb. It was the size of a can of soup. The grenade was a shape of a can or it was kind of a ball and had many small bumps so you could get a grip to throw it. To detonate the grenade you had to pull the little ring on the grenade. The soldiers did not pull the ring with their teeth.you would have around 3 to 6 seconds until it would explode.

  4. The Inventor William Mills was born in 1856. He was involved in the making of aluminum. William Mills invented the first safe hand grenade in 1915. People called it the mills bomb. He made it so you could unscrew the detonator so it would be safe for transporting. He made many types of grenades. He made many. Later over the years he made better grenades. He also made the grenade launcher. It could launch the grenade much further.

  5. Uses Today We do not use grenades that much these days anymore. We stopped using grenades during the 1960’s.We do not use them because we can now use rocket launchers and tanks. But we still we some times use grenade launchers. In the army they still get to use grenades for practice. Productions are still making grenades today.
