4	!!Tropes to do with hand-held explosive devices:
5	[[index]]
6	* BlindedByTheLight: Along with being deafened by the noise, the usual result of getting hit with a stun grenade (also called a flashbang).
7	* BombproofAppliance: Includes disposing of a grenade by putting it in the fridge.
8	* BoomInTheHand: Holding on to a grenade for too long.
9	* CigarFuseLighting: A very common tactic in the days of black powder grenades.
10	* ConcussionFrags: When concussion grenades and frags act inexplicably alike.
11	* FakeInTheHole: Tossing something at your foes and pretending it's a grenade, causing them to dive for cover.
12	* GrenadeHotPotato: A grenade is live and the characters spend the next few seconds trying to pass it off on someone else, until someone gets the bright idea to lob the grenade far away.
13	* GrenadeLauncher: A gun that fires grenades.
14	* GrenadeSpam: Tossing around more grenades than humanly possible.
15	* GrenadeTag: Using a StickyBomb on the unwary.
16	* InsertGrenadeHere: Shoving a grenade into a buttoned-up armoured vehicle for maximum carnage.
17	* JumpingOnAGrenade: A type of HeroicSacrifice where a soldier jumps on a grenade to shield his comrades from the blast.
18	* MolotovCocktail: a.k.a. "the people's grenade".
19	* PineappleSurprise: Pulling the pin out of a grenade while someone else is still wearing it.
20	* PinPullingTeeth: Pulling the pin out with your teeth: It looks [[RuleOfCool cool]], and frees up a hand for mowing down enemies with a machine gun, but isn't possible without damaging your teeth. This is not done in RealLife.
21	* SatchelCharge: Some grenades can function similarly to one for use in destroying vehicles or structures, or alternatively, be used as part of the explosive component in an improvised satchel charge.
22	* StickyBomb: Your basic grenade, now with adhesive.
23	* StinkBomb: A chemical bomb that creates a foul odour.
24	* ThrowDownTheBomblet: For people who use thrown explosives and incendiaries as a weapon of choice.
25	* ThrowThePin: How do you use a grenade? Easy: pull the pin, [[AmbiguousSyntax and throw it]]. Wait, you still have the grenade?!?
26	* TrickBomb: Fictional (or sometimes RealLife) handheld explosives with unusual properties, such as {{Sticky Bomb}}s and {{Stink Bomb}}s.
