Design

[edit]

The DSS-161 uses the conventional cylinder layout[1] and employs a special design which allows discreet and safe user operation with one hand.[2]

The DSS-161 has a "stackable" configuration that allows the user to connect grenades for increased firepower[3][4] which is similar to the American Scalable Offensive Hand Grenade design.
