A paint dispersing training grenade includes a grenade body having dispersing passages extending between a central bore and an external surface of the grenade body, a plug threadedly received in one end of the bore, a piston resiliently urged by a spring toward the plug, a rupturable colorant containing capsule positioned between the piston and the plug, a separable release lever releasably pivotal on the grenade body and engaged with an abutment disk on a shaft extending from the piston, and an inertial delay mechanism engaged between the grenade body and the piston. The delay mechanism includes pivotable delay levers engaged with the piston at one end and having wheels rollably engaging a surface of the grenade body at another end. When the release lever is separated, movement of the piston by the spring is resisted by startup inertia of the wheels in rotating. When the inertia is overcome, the piston forceably ruptures the capsule and propels the colorant out of the grenade body through the dispersion passages.

A training weapon comprising: (a) a weapon body having a cavity therein and a plurality of dispersion passages communicating between said cavity and an external surface of said body; (b) a rupturable colorant container positioned in said cavity, being filled with a colorant, and releasing said colorant upon being ruptured; (c) colorant container crusher means positioned within said weapon body and being urged toward said colorant container; (d) crusher release means engaged between said crusher means and said weapon body; said release means normally maintaining said crusher means out of engagement with said colorant container and, upon being released, freezing said crusher means to rupture said colorant container to release said colorant and force said colorant out of said weapon body through said dispersion passages; (e) crusher delay means engaged between said crusher means and said weapon body, said delay means preventing movement of said crusher means after release of said release means for a delay period and after said delay period allowing said crusher means to rupture said colorant container to release said colorant and force said colorant out of said weapon body through said dispersion passages; (f) said crusher delay means including inertia delay means engaged between said crusher means and said weapon body, said inertia-delay means having a startup inertia which initially resists movement of said crusher means and which is overcome by said crusher means during said delay period; and (g) said inertia delay means including: (1) a delay lever pivotally connected to said weapon body and engaged with said crusher means;
