Shivalik Multi-Mode Hand Grenade

Shivalik Multi-Mode Hand Grenade

As the name suggests, Shivalik is a multi-mode hand grenade, which can be converted into any of the three modules- fuze, grenade body and launcher tube. The modules can be easily assembled and disassembled which helps when in a conflict. The fuze assembly forms the basic module. With the explosive filled non-splintering body, it forms an offensive grenade. Addition of fragmenting sleeve transforms it into defensive grenade and the attachment of a launch tube converts it into a rifle grenade. However, changing the module of the grenade doesn’t effects its efficiency.

As its module can be easily changed, it is very useful in various combat situations. In offensive role, it can be used to wipe away a line of enemy defense from a distance of 50 meters. Being non-splintering type, offensive grenade on detonation stuns the enemy through concussion effect within a radius of about 5 m from the point of burst. In the defensive mode, it is used against the enemy troops in open when our own troops are in defense. The controlled and uniform spread of the fragments from the fragmenting sleeve can incapacitate a human being within a specified radius from the point of burst, but causes no harm to our own troops beyond a certain predetermined distance.

Shivalik Multi-Mode Hand Grenade
The maximum range achieved by the rifle grenade is 200 m in comparison to 120 m presently achieved from M 36 grenade. The grenade body has been made very light and compact by using special polymers. The shape is more ergonomic. The grenade, besides being Para droppable, can be used in the temperature range of -20ºC to +55ºC and is not affected by rain or humidity conditions. The grenade is maintenance free.

At present, the Indian Army has ordered 1.8 million pieces of Shivalik multimode hand grenade.
