The Soviet RGD-33 is an anti-personnel fragmentation stick grenade developed in 1933. It was designed to replace the aging Model 1914 grenade and was used during World War II. Before use a locking catch on the handle must be released and a fuse lasting an average of 4 seconds was inserted into the top of the can. A good throw could send the grenade 30 to 40 metres.
