Idiots... this is how it goes...
You pull the pin, it releases the handle. you can now replaced the pin, or You can remove the handle. Most are spring-loaded so it can be done by merely not holding the handle.
When the handle/lever is removed, it triggers the fuse (can be a literal spark-fuse, but is usually a small, ticking, electronic fuse).
The fuse "burns" for 3-5 seconds. you cqan now either hold the grenade and carefully time it (known as "cooking" a grenade) or just chunk it haphazardly. Note... do not throw pin and drop grenade.
When the fuse stops it reaches a triggers/detonates "primer" or a small blasting cap(usually a small but potent and inert explosive like c-4) that triggers a chain-reaction within the grenade's explosive block.
When the black-powder, gunpowder, or other explosive is detonated, it creates heat and expansion, forming fire and flamebursts. The rapid expansion causes a sonic-boob and shreds the metallic container. Frag grenades usually had layers of "flachette" or debris that upon detonation radiate outwards and cause significant damage.
and that is how agrenade works... Thus, it could be possible for the primer to be remotely detonated by a trigger... but i see no wires... or any thing that could trigger it. and a test like that would use a custom grenade, prolly without any sort of pin/lever system.
