Abstract: An irritation body (100, 100?) is proposed, which is formed by at least two modules (101, 102). The upper module (101) serves for acceptance of an ignition head (1) with tilt lever (3) and comprises upper blow-out apertures (8, 9). The lower module (102) is intended for acceptance of an effect-charge (11) with the effect-charge (11) being integrated in a central chamber (10) of a module (102). The chamber (10) itself is functionally connected with the upper blow-out apertures (8, 9) and also with the lower blow-out apertures (12, 18, 19, 20) in the lower module (102). The chamber (10) in the lower module (102) can, depending upon module (102), be selected in different sizes, which produces, under concomitant volume variability, output variability with defined increase in output.

Abstract: An irritation body (1) is proposed that has a container (5) and a first effect charge as well as an ignition mechanism (3) and an ignition cap (4), which now has in the free area on the floor (8) of the irritation body (1) an additional body (10) provided with a further or second effect charge (11). The housing (12) of the additional body (10) is preferably made of plastic and contains, for example, metal dust as the second effect charge (11).

Abstract: The invention relates to cartridged ammunition, particularly blank ammunition, having a cartridge shell (3) and a projectile (2) placed therein. A propellant chamber (4) accommodating a pyrotechnic of a propellant charge (5) is disposed in the cartridge shell, such charge being ignitable by an ignition device (13) also containing pyrotechnic material that generates propellant gases that act on the base (8) of the projectile and propel the shot out of the cartridge shell. In order to prevent the pyrotechnic charges of the propellant charge and/or the ignition device from self-igniting at high ambient temperatures, particularly in a fire, thus tearing apart the cartridge shell and projectile and being flung away, an inert, meltable material is mixed into the pyrotechnic charges of the propellant charge and/or the ignition device.

Abstract: Disclosed is an irritation grenade (1) comprising a receptacle (2) with at least one compartment (12) within which an effective charge (3) is accommodated and which ends in one respective discharge port (21, 22) on opposite sides of the receptacle (2) while being locked by means of a closure (15). A rocker-arm type igniter (4) is provided to ignite the effective charges. The combustion gases of the effective charges (3) are deflected in part by parts of the rocker-arm igniter (4) such that the irritation grenade is displaced when the effective charges (3) are ignited.

Abstract: A rocker-arm igniter for irritation grenades, hand grenades, smoke or fog grenades, or similar, includes a rocker arm that may be pivoted by a tensioned spring about a pivot axis from a initial position into a second position, and that is firmly attached to a striker that, when the rocker arm is pivoted into its second position, strikes a igniter element of the rocker-arm igniter. A first mechanical securing device with a first securing device element is provided that holds the rocker arm in its initial position. Additionally, a second mechanical securing device with a second securing device element is provided that also holds the rocker arm in its initial position. The rocker arm is released to pivot into its second position only after removal of both securing device elements.
