The study presents the hand and rifle grenades registered in Collection IX - Ammunition from the collection of the Institute of Military History Bratislava - Museum Department Svidník of the Military History Museum Piešťany (MO Svidník VHM). By briefly reviewing the history of the development of hand grenades and a few categorisations, we will also define the concept of hand and rifle grenades. The study introduces individual types of hand and rifle grenades registered in the collection of MO Svidník VHM through a brief history of their development and production. Regarding the description of the grenades we focused on the basic technical description of the grenades, what they consist of, what materials they were made of, etc. An important part of the grenade descriptions is their method of use or functioning, which completes the information and clarifies the constructional peculiarities of individual types and at the same time points out the advantages and disadvantages of individual grenades. The study is aimed at providing a brief overview of the types of hand and rifle grenades registered in the collection of the MO Svidník VHM.
