Best Answer

The grenade now used by the United States army is the M67 grenade.

It contains 180 grams of Composition B explosives detonated by a 4 second fuse.

Anyone within 5 metres when it detonates is almost certain to be killed, those within 15 metres will be seriously injured if not killed, in addition it can send shrapnel flying over 200 metres which may cause additional casualties and damage.
