Description
This grenade is a light, impact firing grenade for offensive action. The body is made of bakelite. The area of burst is very limited, and it can, therefore, be thrown while standing in the open. The two piece body threads together in the middle. There are a filling hole and plug and a priming hole and plug in the base section. The bakelite holder for the fuze threads into a large indentation in the top section. There is a detonator well running lengthwise through the filling.
The fuze is all-ways acting.
Once the tape has unwound and the safety pin is free of the striker, the grenade is in a very sensitive condition and should be carefully disposed of.
