fragmentation grenades are probably the most common in modern armies. they are missiles designed to disperse shrapnel on detonation. the body is generally made of a hard synthetic material or steel, which will provide limited fragmentation through sharding and splintering, though in modern grenades a pre-formed fragmentation matrix inside the grenade is commonly used. the pre-formed fragmentation may be spherical, cuboid, wire or notched wire. most anti-personnel (ap) grenades are designed to detonate either after a time delay or on impact. when the word "grenade" is used colloquially, it is generally assumed to refer to a fragmentation grenade. stick grenades have a long handle attached to the grenade directly, providing leverage for longer throwing distance, at the cost of additional weight and length. the term "stick grenade" commonly refers to the german "stielhandgranate" style stick grenade introduced in 1915 and developed throughout world war i. a friction igniter was used; this method was uncommon in other countries but widely used for german grenades.
