Ans 2 - -Primitive hand grenades were in use as early as the 1500's or even earlier. Grenades were used in the Crimean war (1854) by Allied soldiers, and by both sides in the US Civil War. The grenade as we know it now was used in the Balkan wars in the early 1900's and in WW1. Design had improved greatly by WW2.

^ Lies. I just got through phase one of Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal training at Redstone Arsenal, Al. The grenades we use in the US are rated for a 5 second fuse time meaning it takes 5 second from the moment the spoon is released until it explodes. Unfortunately these grenades have been know to detonate in as little as 2 second all the way up to 7 second. You'd never ever catch me 'cooking' a grenade because of this little fact. Even when they do function properly as stated I would never consider one 'safe'.
