The No 6 Grenade is a hand grenade used by the United Kingdom during World War I. The No 6 was a concussion grenade. A variant of it called the No 7 contained shrapnel making it a primitive fragmentation grenade. Pulling a loop at the top of the grenade ignited the fuse. Once the loop was pulled the grenade was armed and had to be thrown immediately.
