How a Grenade (MK 2) Works! (100% Animation)

- [Narrator] In this video we're going to look at how a grenade works. (sound of pin being pulled and explosion) (orchestral music) The MK 2 hand grenade consists of a safety pin safety lever, and body. (orchestral music) The body houses a powder delay fuse and a detonator. Surrounding the detonator and fuse is the explosive element of the grenade, the charge. (orchestral music) Underneath the safety lever is a striker striker spring, and primer. Let's now look at how all these parts work together to create an explosion. (orchestral music) Operating the hand grenade is a relatively simple task as there are few moving parts. The operator uses one hand to hold the safety lever firmly against the grenade body, whilst the other hand is used to remove the safety pin. Providing the operator does not release the safety lever the grenade will not explode. Once the operator has thrown the grenade the safety lever will be released, and the striker spring will rotate the striker, until it impacts upon the primer. The primer ignites a chemical delay fuse, which will burn for approximately four seconds. The delay burns until it reaches the detonator at which point the detonator will explode and cause an even larger explosion as it ignites the charge. (explosion) (orchestral music) And that is how an MK 2 grenade works. (applause) If you'd like to see something explained using 3D animation then please do leave a suggestion in the comments area.

They had to use CGI due to a previous attempt at videoing it went tragically wrong
