Fragmentation, incendiary and anti-armour / anti-armor hand grenades

Explore this group

The M-75 and M-84 are fragmentation hand grenades built on a plastic body loaded with steel balls and closed by a mechanical delay fuze. The BRK is a shaped-charge grenade quoted against armour / armor, the BRZ carries a thermite mixture in a steel body, and the TG-1 carries a thermobaric mixture in an aluminium body. Every record states a designation, the principal dimensions and the mass of the filling, and for four of the five the delay time of the fuze. Packing is quoted per model wherever the source data sheet records it.

Signalling / signaling and riot control cartridges, 26.5 mm and 38 mm

Explore this group

These five line items are cartridges fired from a signal pistol rather than from a grenade launcher. The 26.5 mm ABC/LP 57 combines a white-red-white flare with an acoustic signal; the four 38 mm cartridges comprise three P1 kinetic items, loaded with rubber balls, a single rubber baton or a three-part rubber baton, and the S&F sound and flash cartridge. Every record states cartridge mass, cartridge length, an operating temperature range and a packing quantity, and every 38 mm record names the 38 mm signal pistol or 38 mm multi-purpose gun.
