Hornet's Nest Sting Grenade


Description: By scientifically combining the powerful concussive effects of a significant propelling charge of low explosive with the painful impact of rubber balls. The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE is a very effective distraction/diversion device. The ALSG101 Hornets Nest is designed to minimize injuries caused by the separation of the body. This device is segmented into 12 sections instead of the two used in other diversionary devices.

History/Background: The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE was developed as a behavior modification device or use in a variety of applications

Potential Targets/Applications: Prison/Civil Rioters

Primary Users: Law Enforcement, Military

Incapacitation Mechanism/Technology: The HORNETS NEST STING GRENADE is a non-reusable rubber filled grenade filled with approximately 80 .45 caliber rubber balls surrounding an explosive charge. The fuze is ejected by a separate charge after activation eliminating the only metal portion of the grenade prior to the detonation and expulsion of the rubber projectiles in a 360 degree radius.

Physical Data: 3.125 inches in diameter and 5.25 inches in height

Performance Characteristics: When detonated, the explosive blasts the rubber balls out in a 360 degree radius which should be thrown to cover an area 7 to 25 feet from the epicenter. Projectiles may carry up to 150 feet from epicenter. Proper application of this behavior modification munition will significantly increase the security of a prison, jail or otherwise sensitive area.

Delivery Means: Hand thrown or launched.

Operational Strengths: No additional equipment required for hand thrown. See launchers for launching cups.
