How to make a homemade RGD-5 hand grenade
The RGD-5 hand grenade is a post World War II Russian anti-personnel fragmentation grenade. It is still in service in many of Russia’s former client states.
The grenade is egg-shaped with no external ribbing, except for a lateral ridge where the two halves of the grenade join. However, the surface of this grenade does have a few small dimples on it. The paint-scheme is generally green or olive drab.
This explosive four-part video tutorial will show you how to build a RGD-5 hand grenade, not really from scratch, but you’ll get a detailed description of the main parts, like the primer and detonator.
You’ll need some black gunpowder and a little enthusiasm to build this awesome RGD-5 hand grenade. You’ll paint it and everything. Then, after all of your hard work, go and pull the pin and throw it until it explodes, or at least makes a loud noise.
