Tangler grenades in the Frontier Sector are small, lightweight non-lethal throwing devices designed to disperse hundreds of strong, sticky polymer threads which stick to everything within the blast radius and harden almost instantly. An entangled individual can not move until the threads decay (in 30 minutes) or until Solvaway is spread over the threads.[1]
Each grenade has negligible weight. It can be set to detonate on impact or it can be set to detonate using a built-in timer, adjustable to up to one minute.[2] Conversely, the grenade can be mounted to either a grenade bullet (for use with a grenade rifle) or a grenade shell (for use with a grenade mortar).
Due to its ease of use, non-lethal nature and general usefulness, Tangler grenades are often included in emergency survival kits.
