Enhanced hand grenade

Some standard munitions, like grenades, and even ammo have a defined "shelf life."
Some of it does become unreliable with age and storage.

I remember receiving notices to sort through our stored goodies and picking certain things by lot number and blowing them up.
LAWs did not stand up to the climate for one example.
We'd blow them after they had been dragged around awhile.

Golly, first the feds take the lead out of gasoline and now they are taking the asbestos out of hand grenades. I mean really what is next?! A kinder, eco friendly explosive?
