Abstract

A grenade having a case (1), a sabot (2) and a cover (3), the sabot (2) having a base part, a space for receiving a projectile or projectiles (18), and a plurality of petals (14). The grenade is formed such that when it is arranged for use the sabot (2) is fitted to the case (1), the projectile or projectiles are within the space, and the cover (3) is fitted around the petals (14). The end parts of the petal (14) bend towards one another to substantially encapsulate the projectile or projectiles (18). The grenade is formed such that when it is in use and is fired from a suitable rifle a charge in the case (1) causes the sabot (2) and the projectile or projectiles (18) to be propelled forward and punch through the cover (3) such that the projectile or projectiles (18) are released from the sabot (2) to a target.
