The Inside Of A Frag And Practice Grenade
How does a grenade work?
Operating the hand grenade is a relatively simple task as there are few moving parts.
The operator uses one hand to hold the safety lever firmly against the grenade body, whilst the other hand is used to remove the safety pin. Providing the operator does not release the safety lever the grenade will not explode.
Once the operator has thrown the grenade, the safety lever will be released, and the striker spring will rotate the striker, until it impacts upon the primer.
The primer ignites a chemical delay fuse, which will burn for approximately four seconds. The delay burns until it reaches the detonator, at which point the detonator will explode and cause an even larger explosion as it ignites the charge.
The contents explode, fragmenting the outer casing (which holds all the explosive inside). These fragments then move outward as shrapnel, damaging the surroundings.

Why Were So Many Japanese Pilots Willing To Conduct Kamikaze Missions?
The Japanese people were very, very patriotic. In addition, they firmly believed that the emperor was god on earth. He was a living god and whatever his decisions, they were from god himself. Between those beliefs and feelings, the opportunity to die for the preservation of the country was not even a question. They all knew that their country was in dire straits with a terrible enemy approaching their shores. As soldiers in the service of their living god, they were much more than willing to sacrifice their lives to save their country.
