Description
This grenade consists of a lemon shaped, cast iron body filled with high explosive.
The body has three holes in it; one in the base for priming, one near the top for filling, and one on the top through which the striker protrudes. The body is serrated and relatively thick, so as to give good fragmentation. A center piece, containing a striker and spring, a primer delay train, and a detonator, is located within the body and surrounded by cast explosive.
This grenade is packed and marked as a hand grenade with a 4-sec. delay igniter, or as a rifle grenade with a 7-sec. delay igniter.
No weight of explosive is specified, as the grenade is filled to capacity.
