The present disclosure relates to a pyrotechnic object, in particular an irritation body, irritation projectile or ammunition, comprising an ignition device, comprising a delay chamber extending along a delay path, in which chamber a delay charge is accommodated, and comprising at least one and preferably a plurality of effect chambers in which or in each of which an effect charge to be ignited is accommodated, wherein the delay chamber is transversely connected to a respective effect chamber via a respective over-ignition opening which branches off from the delay chamber and forms an over-ignition path, wherein in the case of a plurality of effect chambers the plurality of over-ignition openings are arranged successively downstream along the delay path in the order of the effect charges to be ignited.

Pyrotechnic object

The invention relates to an igniter with a delay time (Vz) that can be set. The delay time (Vz) can be fixedly defined, or individually and situation-dependently set on-site. In particular, the invention relates to a delay time that can be set for a stun grenade, a hand grenade etc., with options for the individual setting and situation-dependent or situation-contingent customisation of the delay time (Vz), and consequently of the effect of the active compositions in-situ. In order to achieve individual setting options, the invention proposes that at least two different delay times (Vz) can be set. To this end, the igniter has, in a delay section, preferably in the fuse head, a relief bore that can be closed or opened.

Igniter with a delay time that can be set

A stun grenade for individual adjustment and situation-dependent adaptation of the number of active masses in situ. A switch mechanism is built into the stun grenade, enabling the simultaneous activation of different chambers inside the stun grenade in order to adjust the effect. The switch mechanism is formed by a tube and peripherally integrated boreholes and grooves. A different number of the chambers in the stun grenade is activated by the switch mechanism, thereby increasing or decreasing the active power.

Stun grenade having an adjustable switch mechanism to connect different effect chambers simultaneously to a delay set

An irritation member having a housing, wherein the housing has a front side and a rear side, as well as lateral surfaces connecting the front side and the rear side. The front side and rear side are larger than the lateral surfaces, thereby producing a parallelepipedal housing. The irritation member has blow-out openings on the lateral surfaces and an actuation element that is provided in a recess of the housing. In the event of non-actuation, the actuation element is thereby received in the recess of the housing and thus does not increase the size of the housing. As a result, the irritation member does not look like a conventional irritation member.

Pyrotechnic article

An irritation body (') is proposed, which is formed by at least two modules (). The upper module () serves for acceptance of an ignition head () with tilt lever () and comprises upper blow-out apertures (). The lower module () is intended for acceptance of an effect-charge () with the effect-charge () being integrated in a central chamber () of a module (). The chamber () itself is functionally connected with the upper blow-out apertures () and also with the lower blow-out apertures () in the lower module (). The chamber () in the lower module () can, depending upon module (), be selected in different sizes, which produces, under concomitant volume variability, output variability with defined increase in output.
