I was recently watching a show on the discovery channel and I saw the police in a prison use a stun grenade to calm down rioting inmates. The stun grenade had a 1 second delay, and many "soft rubber pellets" as projectiles. I saw this grenade and thought "Hey I might be able to make one of those" and decided to make one. After a while of thinking this is what I concluded.
A 7 second's worth of safety fuse should be enough of a delay.
Making the casing by sewing the ends of 10 equally sized rubber pieces together would make the spread of pelets equal in every direction.
The rubber stun pellets would be made of cut up rubber test tube stopper and bicycle tire tread.
A good pellet size would be around half a centimeter to .75 centimeter
the best pellet shape would be spherical to get the straightest flight
A pull igniter would serve as an easy pull pin type ignition
The charge that would dispense the pellets would be 46 grams of flash inside a section of zip lock baggie that is taped tightly into a ball with electrical tape
The outside of the grenade should be taped tightly and evenly with electrical tape.
The pull ignition should also have a "safety" so a glue stick cap could be placed over the pull stricker and then taped on.
The grenade would have to have the safety cap pulled off first and then the pull striker could be pulled. The grenade would then be thrown and there would be a delay of around 7 seconds. After the 7 or so seconds the 46 grams of flash powder would be ignited which would break open the fragile rubber strip casing and it would propel the rubber "stun pellets" at an extremely high speed. The detonation of the "stun grenade" would likely also have the same effects as a flash bang by blinding and deafening the target (if close enough but that COULD be a bad thing) and they would also be hit by very many stun pellets. This grenade could be used in any hostage situation (like that's gonna happen in your house ) Or it COULD be used to rid your yard of a very pesky animal.
Ever had a riot in your town? Wanna *shudder* help the pigs? ;D ;D
Just a thought. They could be fun to make and use though. It'd definately give you something to do if you're bored one day.
Edit: someone got bored and made one
