      One thing to know is that in France the police are using tear gas grenades but also “sting ball grenades” (Grenade de désencerclement). These grenades are explosive grenades with hard rubber balls in it.

      They can kill you, cause serious injuries and will blow off you hand of you grab them.

      This is why grabbing a grenade can be extremely dangerous and using tennis racquets is a way to mitigate a bit these risks.
