Geiselman) Newsgroups: sci.military Subject: Nuclear Hand Grenades (a query) Message-ID: <8274@cbnews.ATT.COM> Date: 14 Jul 89 02:43:45 GMT Sender: military@cbnews.ATT.COM Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh, Comp & Info Sys Lines: 25 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Kevin A. Geiselman I have heard of a US military experimental project involving nuclear hand grenades. Supposedly it was concluded that the soldier could not throw the grenade far enough to be outside the lethal blast radius. I would like some further information about this project with some technical information such as: What was the size and mass of the grenade. What was the explosive yield of the grenade. How much radiation did it pump out? Also, I would like some information about nuclear mortars and other very small nuclear devices; nuclear munitions, backpack nukes, portable EMP generators, and other man-portable nuclear weapons. Many thanks, Tashuurijn ___________________________________________________________________________ Kevin A.
