Abstract
A grenade firing mechanism () includes a body () containing a firing pin () and a tiring pin actuator mechanism (). A safety system includes twist to arm collar () and a safety interlock (). The collar is movable between an unarmed position and an armed position and tire safety interlock is movable between a collar locking position, a collar release position and a firing position. When the collar () is in the unarmed position and the safety interlock () is in the collar locking position, actuation of the firing pin () is inhibited and the safety interlock () inhibits movement of the collar to the armed position. When, the safety interlock () is in the collar release position, the collar () is able to be moved between said unarmed and armed positions and actuation of the firing pin is inhibited. When the collar () is in the armed position and the -safety interlock () is in the firing position, actuation of the firing pin is enabled.
