These were early hand grenades that came in 1, 3, and 5 pound models. They were thrown like a dart. They had cardboard fins, and sometimes had a cloth streamer attached to them. They were filled with gunpowder, and had a pressure cap at the end. The enemies often caught these in blankets and threw them back. They didn't always work because they sometimes wouldn't land on the pressure cap.
These grenades changed warfare because they were an early form of grenade technology, which people continued to use and build on. Grenades are used today.
