Primitive Black Powder Grenades

Black powder grenades are the great grand parents of the modern hand grenades we are all familiar with today. Before the days of fancy mechanical-pyrotechnic fuses, steel bodies, and high explosives, our ancestors tossed primitive hulls full of black powder and hoped for the best. Someone asked us to see if these things would work long ago. Well, we finally got to testing out how effective these primitive black powder grenades really are. We made a bunch of these black powder grenades and testing their fragmentation abilities as well as how effective they are as as battle field weapon. I guess this makes us now history experts on ancient weapons.
