Capsule: Avis' Plasma Grenade is cylindrical in shape and is approximately 100mm long and 30mm in diameter. The grenade has hinged cap on the top of the grenade, beneath this cap are the grenade's controls. The main body of the grenade also has rubber handgrip that is pressure sensitive. To prime the grenade the user needs to hold the handgrip and press the primer switch beneath the protective cap. A second switch sets the grenade to 'dead man' mode or 'timer' mode. In 'dead man' mode the grenade will detonate when pressure on the handgrip is released. In 'timer' mode the grenade can have a 3, 5 or 10 second timer which starts when the pressure on the handgrip is released. The grenade contains a small plasma core that detonates when excited by an electric current. When the grenade detonates it produces a powerful plasma explosion which is capable of vaporizing almost any material. These grenades are particularly useful against heavily armoured personnel or light vehicles.
