Description
This adapter consists of a stabilizer and fin assembly and a metal set-back band. To the stabilizer are attached four short spring-steel clips. It is designed to project the following grenades: CN-DM-M6; CN-M7; HC, AN-M8; AN-M14; M16; and M18.
Functioning
The grenades are assembled to the adapter with the clips holding over the ridge at the base of the grenade. The setback band contains a short spring and fits around the grenade, over the safety lever. It holds the safety lever in a safe position after removal of the fuze safety pin. When the grenade is fired, setback causes the band to slide off the safety lever toward the base of the grenade. This permits the safety lever to spring outward and the striker to ignite the fuze. The fuze ignites the grenade in approximately one to one and a half seconds
