The Vasić M-12 Grenade is a hand grenade that was designed in Serbia in 1912. It was adopted by Serbia and Montenegro in 1912. It also was in service with the Royal Yugoslav Army during World War II. In 1914, Nedeljko Cabrinovic, a member of the black hand, used an M12 Vasic grenade at the car in which Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were being driven through Sarajevo in 1914. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful as the delay on the bomb fuse was such that Ferdinand's car had passed by the danger before the device exploded.
