Hello,
Has anyone got a picture of the internal workings of a kugelhandgranate fuse, I'm guessing it's a friction device?
Cheers,

Hi Paul.
For filling I used buckwheat with glue, then painted with black paint. :tinysmile_twink_t:

Hello poiskovik,
That's brilliant, have you patented it? Certainly looks very good, I'm sure customs would be very confused when looking at that!
Cheers,

You should avoid moisture! :canabis:

Bit small for a flower pot, perhaps an interesting container for a Bonsai tree!

I have used rock salt painted black to simulate large grain Black powder, it looks pretty good.....

Thought this pic may interest you,its of an "Inert" grenade i bought a couple of years ago (cant remember if was a fair or auction)
Well decided to cut it ..Hmmmm nice suprise inside remnants of original fill,glad i used the hacksaw instead of my grider to cut it
note the wedge was filled with the stuff but most fell out
contents disposed of safely at work
