Abstract: A grenade body, in particular for hand grenades, comprising a muti-part fragmentation body which forms a hollow body and which comprises metal particles (7) embedded in plastics material, and an outer casing of plastics material which encloses the fragmentation body, wherein the parts (1, 2) of the fragmentation body interengage positively at the connecting surfaces (6). The preferably substantially spherical metal particles (7) project with only a small distance beyond the connecting surface (6) when the fragmentation body is assembled. In the region of the conecting surfaces (6), the inner layer of particles is displaced relative to the outer layer of particles by approximately half a particle diameter (FIG. 5).
