    It isn’t legal to own hand grenades in the US so I would imagine the self defense part would be irrelevant.

    Though I’d imagine it they might be allowed if they were legal because you can use, say, your car as a weapon in self defense…

      Not correct. It’s an ‘other destructive device’, and is covered under the National Firearms Act of 1934. Each one would require completing a transfer form, waiting for approval from the ATF, and cost $200 for the tax stamp. …And would then be usable exactly once.

      You might be able to manufacture a grenade with an ATF Form 1 approval, but I’m not positive. And, again, it’s a single-use item that requires a $200 tax stamp.
