| Description: |
|---|
| Hand grenade riot CS1, ABC-M25A2 has a powerful lachrymal effect and is irritating to the upper respiratory passages, causing coughing, difficulty in breathing and chest tightness. Heavy concentrations will cause nausea and vomiting as well. The onset of incapacitation is 15 to 30 seconds and duration from 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the dosage concentration. CS is more persistent and has a more severe reaction than CN. The grenade body is spherical. It is made of two plastic hemispheres cemented together. The two pieces together form a burster well and slider housing. The fuze is a pyrotechnic delay-detonating type integral with the grenade body. The fuzing components consist of an arming sleeve, arming pin, firing spring, slider assembly, and firing pin. The slider assembly contains a primer, pyrotechnic delay column, and a detonator. The grenade is assembled with a safety pin and pull ring. Safety clips are not required with these grenades. |

| Hand grenade riot CS1, ABC-M25A2 is a burstingtype riot control agent grenade and may be used to simulate casualty agents during training. |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| The safety pin locks the arming sleeve to the grenade body through the slider assembly. It also retains the arming pin in a horizontal position. When the safety pin is removed, the arming sleeve is free to separate from the grenade body. The slider assembly is released and is driven against the firing pin. The firing pin initiates a primer in the end of the slider. The primer initiates the delay column which, in turn, initiates the detonator. The detonator shatters the grenade body, dispersing the agent. |
