Disclosed is an irritation grenade ( 1 ) comprising a receptacle ( 2 ) with at least one compartment ( 12 ) within which an effective charge ( 3 ) is accommodated and which ends in one respective discharge port ( 21, 22 ) on opposite sides of the receptacle ( 2 ) while being locked by means of a closure ( 15 ). A rocker-arm type igniter ( 4 ) is provided to ignite the effective charges. The combustion gases of the effective charges ( 3 ) are deflected in part by parts of the rocker-arm igniter ( 4 ) such that the irritation grenade is displaced when the effective charges ( 3 ) are ignited. In order to prevent this from happening, the cross section of the discharge ports ( 21, 22 ) of the compartments ( 12 ) is embodied smaller on the side opposite the rocker-arm igniter ( 4 ) than the cross section of the discharge ports ( 21 ) on the side of the rocker-arm igniter ( 4 ) such that recoil forces which are generated when the effective charges ( 3 ) are burned and act upon the irritation grenade ( 1 ) are substantially identical on both opposite sides.
