The stick grenade, which was the standard hand grenade of German soldiers during World War I, was designed to detonate after either a 5.5 or 7 second delay, although some exploded on contact. Impact grenades (those that exploded upon landing) were less popular than those with a timed fuse because impact grenades held a higher probability of accidental explosions. In addition to the stick grenade, the German Army used disc, hand, and ball grenades during World War I.
