Grenade M30 is used for training in care, handling and throwing of fragmentation hand grenades M26A1 and M26.
The body is not loaded with a high-explosive filler but may have a small, separate black powder charge.
Hand grenade fuzes M205A1 and M205A2 are pyrotechnic delay-igniting fuzes. They differ in body construction only. The body contains a primer and a pyrotechnic delay column. Assembled to the body are a striker, striker spring, safety lever, safety pin with pull ring, and an igniter assembly. The split end of the safety pin has an angular spread or a diamond crimp.
Delay practice hand grenade M30 is the M62 without a safety clip. After use, the grenade body may be recovered, and reloaded with a new fuze, and black powder charge and stopper, if used. The grenade body is of cast iron. The M30 external configuration is identical with that of the M26A1 and M26.
