Type 10 grenade The was the first fragmentation hand grenade designed and deployed by the Imperial Japanese Army . History and development . After the Russo - Japanese War of 1904 – 1905 , the Japanese army experimented with a variety of grenades ; however , no design reached mass production . Japanese military observers in the European front of World War I noted the technical development and tactical application of hand grenades as infantry support weapons with considerable interest , and the Army Technical Bureau was tasked with a project to develop a grenade launcher that could be used in combination with the Type 38 rifle , the Japanese Army ' s standard infantry weapon . The project failed for a variety of reasons , including too small a bore , too long a gun barrel and difficulties with a propellant . The Technical Bureau then turned to a World War I - vintage German design for a small signal mortar , which was developed into the stand - alone Type 10 Grenade Discharger . The Type 10 grenade was designed for use with this grenade launcher when attached to a base containing a primer and propelling charge . It could also be thrown by hand , or fired from a rifle grenade launcher with a tail assembly added . Design . The design of the Type 10 grenade was almost identical to the later Type 91 with a grooved ' pineapple - shaped ' segmented body designed to disperse sharp fragments when it exploded . The main difference was the Type 10 ' s serrated top . A threaded socket in the bottom of the body allowed for the attachment of an auxiliary propellant canister for use in a grenade launcher , or a finned tail assembly for use as a rifle grenade . The fuse was a percussion - activated delay type , initiated by pulling out a safety pin and striking the top of the cap , which gave a 7 – 8 second delay . When used as a rifle grenade or mortar round , the fuse activated automatically , as the plunger was pushed in by the force of the launch . One issue with the design was the highly variable and inaccurate fuse timing , which resulted either in premature explosion , or such a long delay that the recipient could hurl the grenade back prior to detonation . Combat record . The Type 10 grenade was quickly superseded in front - line combat service by the Type 91 grenade , and survived into the Second Sino - Japanese War and World War II in primarily in the form of flare shells and signal shells .
