The Bertrand gasgrenade had no fuze whatsoever.
It consisted of 6 steel segments around a glass ampoule which contained liquid teargas.
The whole was kept together by a steel wire.
When thrown, the impact on the surface would make the segments move and break the glass, and releasing the liquid which would vaporize.

Weight 200gram including 25gram liquid teargas.
