Abstract
A more IM compliant grenade fuze assembly includes a fuze body, an energetics train disposed in the fuze body, and a striker lever rotatably attached to the fuze body. A spring-loaded rotor assembly is rotatably fixed to the fuze body. The rotor assembly includes a primer. A firing pin is disposed in one of the rotor assembly and the fuze body. Placing the primer in the rotor assembly decreases the area of the fuze assembly that is vulnerable to initiation by impact from a bullet, fragment, or shape charge.
