The Soviet Union's 1942 creation, the RGD-5, is a classic hand grenade that has gained notoriety worldwide due to its simplicity and effectiveness. It features a circular steel body with a distinctive finned tail, which allows it to maintain stable flight before exploding on impact. When activated, the RGD-5 unleashes 63 grams of TNT equivalent explosive force, capable of inflicting serious damage upon anyone within proximity. Its fragmentation pattern is designed to cause maximum harm, making it an extremely potent weapon in close quarters combat situations. The use of a spring-loaded pin and safety clip ensures that accidental detonations are minimized. A simple pull on the pin releases the safety mechanism, allowing the grenade to be thrown with confidence. Soldiers often favor the RGD-5 due to its reliability and ease of use. Its rugged design allows it to withstand rough handling, making it an ideal choice for military operations in challenging environments.
