Bola Grenade

Bola Grenade Final Assembly

	Roll the doubled tape segments onto the rolls, with approximately half of the segment on each side. Insert one end of the spring assembly into a roll, making sure that both hooks catch on the inner ring of the plastic insert.
	Place the second tape roll on the spring assembly, again making sure that the two hooks are properly installed.
	Compress the spring assembly until the two tape rolls are side-by-side. Thread the legs of the arming pin into the top bends of the "V" on the short side of the spring mechanism, as shown.
	Slide pin across tape roll as shown. Pin should now hold the spring in tension without assistance. If the pin bends, either remove some of the rubber bands or use a heavier gauge wire.
	The assembly is now complete. Make sure that the overlapped tape segment is tightly wound around the tape rolls. It will be necessary to crease the tape segment in order to make the "tail" lie flat against the sides. A small piece of tape should be used to secure the tail. This piece of tape should be as small as possible, and should easily peel away from the sides on deployment. Masking tape works well for this purpose, as does conventional Scotch tape. The adhesive may be weakened for the purpose by repeatedly pressing a thumb against it prior to use.
	The grenade can be fastened onto clothing by improvised hooks or other mechanisms. Simply thread the hook through the long end of the spring mechanism.
