Section II. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONING1-3. General

Grenades are small bombs of a size and shape conve-nient for throwing by hand or launching from a rifle orvehicle. The hand grenade is thrown by hand. How-ever, some hand grenades may be launched from a riflegrenade projection adapter and by a special grenade car-tridge. The rifle grenade is launched by a special gre-nade cartridge from a rifle. Hand grenades are used tosupplement small arms against an enemy in close com-bat, for producing a riot control agent, for smokescreening and signaling, and for incendiary purposes.Rifle grenades are used against armored targets, fortifi-cations and personnel, and for screening and signaling.Tables 1-1 and 1-2 contain a listing of authorized handand rifle grenades, respectively. Table 1-3 lists specialtype grenades. Table 1-4 lists time to grenade function-ing after release of safety lever.

1-4. Hand Grenades

a. General. All Army hand grenades have pyro-technic delay fuzes except for Grenades M68, M59(M33 with Fuze, M217) (M33A1), M57 and M26A2which are assembled with an impact-delay-type fuze. Agrenade assembled with a pyrotechnic delay fuze willnot function by impact action. A grenade assembledwith an impact-delay-type fuze will function on impactaction after an arming time of 1.6 seconds. If the gre-nade fails to function on impact, the secondary pyro-technic delay feature of the fuze will function the gre-nade within 3 to 7 seconds.

b. Types. There are six types of hand grenades (fig.1-1):

(1) Fragmentation hand grenades. These gre-nades are used to produce casualties by high velocityprojection of fragment.

(2) Illuminating hand grenade. This grenade isused to provide illumination of terrain and targets.

(3) Chemical hand grenades. These grenadesare used for incendiary, screening, signaling, training orriot control purposes.

(4) Offensive hand grenade. This grenade isused for blast effect.

(5) Practice and training hand grenades.These grenades are for training personnel in use, careand handling of service grenades. Model designationsof the grenades are indicated in table 1-4.

(6) Non-lethal hand grenade. This grenade isused for diversionary purposes.

c. Functioning.

(1) General. Release of the safety clip andremoval of the safety pin permit release of the safety

lever. When the grenade is thrown, the safety lever isreleased and is forced away from the grenade body by astriker acting under the force of a striker spring. Thestriker rotates on its axis, and then strikes the percussionprimer, initiating the fuze. The grenade then functionswithin the time shown in table 1-4.

(2) Grenades M47 (fig. 1-2) and M48. Grenadefuze M227 is restrained from functioning by the safetycotter pin, sliding safety latch, and handle. The exhaustport seal is removed and discarded immediately beforepulling the safety cotter pin. When the safety cotter pinis removed and the safety latch is pushed rearward (fig.1-3) from the lock pin, the handle is unlocked and theGRENADE IS ARMED. Releasing the handle causesthe arming pin spring to eject the arming pin. Thisreleases the firing pin, allowing the firing pin to activatethe primer. The primer ignites the first-fire mixture,which flashes and ignites the delay mixture. This, inturn, ignites the ignition mixture. The ignition mixtureburns through an aluminum foil shield on the bottom ofthe fuze and ignites the granulated CS pyrotechnic mix-ture in the grenade body. The burning mixture builds uppressure and opens the tape covering the exhaust port.This pressure also forces release of CS from the gre-nade, while jet action causes the grenade to movequickly and erratically along the ground. The M48functions in the same manner as the M47, except thatthe M48 emits red smoke.

(3) Grenade M106. The M201A1 MOD3 fuzeis restrained from functioning by a safety lever and asafety cotter pin attached to a pull ring, which isrestrained by a confidence clip. The confidence clipsretaining well prevents the pull ring from accidentalremoval from the M201A1 MOD3 fuze. To arm theM106, rotate the pull ring clockwise until the pull ring isdisengaged from the retaining well of the confidenceclip and remove the pull ring from the M201A1 MOD3fuze. This will release the safety lever. When the M106is thrown, the safety lever is forced away from the gre-nade body by a striker acting under the force of a strikerspring. The striker rotates on its axis and strikes the per-cussion primer. The primer initiates the first-fire mix-ture. The fuze delay element, ignition mixture, and thepyrotechnic burster are initiated in turn by the precedingcomponent. Rapidly expanding gases from the pyro-technic burster fragment the fiberboard grenade bodydisbursing the titanium dioxide payload as a densewhite cloud.

1-5. Rifle Grenades

a. General. Rifle grenades (fig. 1-4) are fin-stabi-lized. They are launched from a rifle. The propellingforce for the grenade is provided by a special gas-pro-ducing grenade cartridge, which is loaded into the riflechamber. Rifle grenades

may be used against armored targets, against personnel,for screening or signaling, or for incendiary effectagainst flammable targets. Rifle grenades may be firedat low angles (direct fire) or high angles (indirect fire),depending on the type of grenade being fired and effectdesired

b. Types. There are four types of rifle grenadescurrently available:

(1) Antitank (AT) rifle grenades. These gre-nades are used armored targets or fortifications. Thegrenade contains a shaped charge capable of penetratingup to 10 inches of armor plate or 20 inches of reinforcedconcrete at an effective range of 115 meters.

(2) Chemical rifle grenades. These grenadesare used primarily for screening or signaling purposes.In addition, the WP grenade can also be used for incen-diary effect against flammable targets or to inflictinjury. Chemical rifle grenades function either uponimpact with targets to produce clouds of smoke, or uponprojection to produce a long train of smoke through theair.

(3) Practice rifle grenades. These grenades areused for training personnel in care, handling and use ofservice rifle grenades.

(4) Breaching rifle grenades. These grenadesare used to breach entrance ways through closed obsta-cles such as doorways, at a maximum range of 40meters. A standoff rod screws into the nose of the EntryMunition increasing the overall length to 30 inches.

1-6. Grenade, Launcher, Smoke: Screening, RP,UK L8A1, L8A3

a. General. Provides a self-screening smoke capa-bility for armored tactical vehicles.

(1) Screen vehicles from enemy direct fireweapons when immediate counter-engagement cannotbe accomplished.

(2) Conceal vehicles caught out in the openwhich cannot rapidly find a defilade position.

(3) Screen vehicles caught in the open duringretrograde.

(4) Extricate the crew from a disabled vehicle.

b. Description. The L8A1 grenade (fig. 1-5) andthe L8A3 grenade (fig. 1-5a) are used with M239 andsimilar grenade launchers. The grenades are filled witha red phosphorus/butyl rubber mix. Each grenade isapproximately 2-5/8 inches in diameter, 7-9/32 incheslong, and weighs approximately 1-1/2 pounds.

c. Functioning. The L8A1 and L8A3 grenades arepropelled from the launching device when electricalcurrent at the firing clip activates the electrical squib-type fuze which ignites the propellant charge. Pressurebuilds up in the metal base, escapes through the propul-sion holes, ignites the delay composition, and propelsthe grenade from the launching device. During flight ofthe grenade, the delay composition burns for 3/4 of asecond for the L8A1 and 1 second for the L8A3 gre-nade, and ignites the burster charge. The burster chargeignites the red phosphorus/butyl rubber smoke compo-sition and ruptures the rubber grenade body. Theignited smoke composition disperses to produce a whitesmoke cloud within two seconds after firing at approxi-mately 98 feet (30m) from the launching device. Whenfunctioned, the L8A3 grenade generates a smoke cloudfaster and more dense than the L8A1. The smoke cloudlasts for more than 2 minutes for both the L8A1 andL8A3 grenades.

a. General. Provides a self-screening infraredsmoke capability for armored tactical vehicles.


(2) Conceal vehicles caught out in the openwhich cannot rapidly find a defilade position.


(4) Extricate crew from a disabled vehicle.

b. Description. The M76 grenade (fig. 1-5b) isused with the M250 and similar grenade launchers.Each grenade is 2.59 inches in diameter, 9.3 incheslong, and weighs approximately 4 pounds.

c. Functioning. The M76 grenade is propelledfrom the launching device (discharger) when electriccurrent at the firing contact activates the electricalmatch. The electrical match ignites the propellantwhich launches the grenade and ignites the pyrotechnictime delay. Launch acceleration causes the setback lockto displace aft, out-of-engagement with safe and armslider. When the slider/bore rider clears the launchtube, it moves into the armed position which aligns theexplosive lead with the delay detonator and the boosterlead. When the grenade reaches the desired range, thedelay detonator ignites the explosive train which deto-nates the central burster. The IR composition is scat-tered which creates the brown obscuring cloud.

b. Description. The M82 grenade (fig. 1-5c) is usedwith M250 and similar grenade launchers. Each gre-nade is 2.6 inches in diameter, 9.3 inches long, andweighs approximately 3.1 pounds.

c. Functioning. The M82 grenade is propelledfrom the launching device (discharger) when electriccurrent at the firing contact activates the electricalmatch. The electrical match ignites the propellantwhich launches the grenade and ignites the pyrotechnictime delay. Launch acceleration causes the setback lockto displace aft, out-of-engagement with safe and armslider. When the slider/bore rider clears the launchtube, it moves into the armed position which aligns theexplosive lead with the delay detonator and the boosterlead. When the grenade reaches the desired range, thedelay detonator ignites the explosive train which deto-nates the central burster. The smoke composition isscattered which creates the white obscuring cloud. Thesmoke cloud lasts for approximately 45-60 seconds.

1-6.3. Grenade, Launcher, Smoke: Screening, TA,M90

a. General. Provides a self-screening through nearinfrared wavelength smoke capabilities for light tacticalvehicles.

b. Description. The M90 grenade is used primarilywith the M7 66mm grenade discharger, but is also capa-ble of being fired from the M250, M257, and M6 gre-nade dischargers. Each grenade is 9.87 inches long, 2.6inches.

c. Functioning. The M90 grenade contains threeindividual smoke canisters that are ejected out of thegrenade body when electric current is applied to the fir-ing contacts, activating the electric match. The electricmatch ignites the propellant which burns to create pres-sure and hot gases inside the grenade body. This ignitesthe three individual canisters and propels them out ofthe grenade body a distance of 35 meters. A salvo offour grenades will produce a 30-meter x 2-meter highwhite smoke screen within six seconds after launch,screening a stationary vehicle approximately 20 sec-onds depending on weather conditions.1-6.3.1 Grenade, Launcher: Non Lethal, Distrac-

tion, M98a. General. Enhances capability of friendly forces

to conduct force protection without direct contact withrioting crowds. The audio stimuli will temporarily dis-orient/confuse the combatant.

b. Description. The M98 is used primarily with theM7 Discharger, which is a component of the LightVehicle Obstruction Smoke System (LVOSS), and sim-ilar 66-mm grenade dischargers. Each grenade has 3canisters that contain a cardboard ballast material andindividual bursting charges. The grenade is approxi-mately 2.6 inches in diameter, 9.9 inches long, andweighs 1.6 pounds.

c. Functioning. The M98 grenade is an electricallylaunched grenade. The launch system consists of elec-trical contacts for discharger/grenade interface, an elec-tric match initiator, and a black powder propulsioncharge in a fiberglass filled nylon propulsion base. Thefemale connector of the propulsion base makes an elec-trical connection with the firing circuit when pushedinto the male electrical connector at the base of the dis-charger tube. When the launch system is armed and thefiring button is pushed, the firing circuit directs electri-cal energy from the vehicles battery to the electricmatch, which ignites the black powder propulsioncharge in the propulsion base. Upon ignition of the pro-pulsion charge, a pusher plate propels 3 canisters fromthe grenade body and also transfers some of the hot pro-pulsion gases through the grenade body to ignite thecanisters and expel the end cap. Depending upon thedischarger launch elevation, the canisters travel 50-100meters before impacting the ground. A pyrotechnicdelay burns for approximately 4.5 seconds beforereleasing the M98 audio stimuli. The delay of this gre-nade is designed so the canisters are ground burstingmunitions.

1-6.3.2 Grenade, Launcher: Non Lethal, BluntTrauma, M99

a. General. Enhances capability of friendly forcesto conduct force protection without direct contact withrioting crowds. The audio/physical blunt trauma stimuliwill temporarily disorient/confuse the combatant.

b. Description. The M99 is used primarily with theM7 Discharger, which is a component of the LVOSS,and similar 66-mm grenade dischargers. Each grenadehas 3 canisters with individual bursting charges. Eachcanister contains approximately 140 PVC balls (0.32caliber). The grenade is approximately 2.6 inches indiameter, 9.9 inches long, and weighs 1.6 pounds.

c. Functioning. The M99 grenade is an electricallylaunched grenade. The launch system consists of elec-trical contacts for discharger/grenade interface, an elec-tric match initiator, and a black powder propulsioncharge in a fiberglass filled nylon propulsion base. Thefemale connector of the propulsion base makes an elec-trical connection with the firing circuit when pushedinto the male electrical connector at the base of the dis-charger tube.

1-6.6 Grenade, Hand: Practice, Stun, Reloadable,M102

a. General. The M102 Reloadable Stun Practice HandGrenade (RSPHG) is the practice version of the M84 Non-Lethal Stun Hand Grenade. It is a pyrotechnic device fordiversionary purposes that can be used to train anti-terroristsquads, hostage rescue squads, riot control squads, etc. TheM102 is a low hazard, non-shrapnel producing explosivedevice which produces an intense light and sound displaywith a minimum amount of smoke. It functions the same asthe M84 SHG except that the M240 Fuze Cartridge is a one-time use item, with the M102 Practice Grenade Body beingreusable multiple times.

b. Description. The M102 Reloadable Stun PracticeHand Grenade is 5.25 inches in length and 1.73 inches at thecorners of the hexagon location. The fully assembled M102Grenade design consists of a steel hexagon body and fuzeadapter, modified M201A1 Fuze with a primary and second-ary safety pin assembly, and a cartridge with a cap plug com-prising the stun charge. The grenade body has 12 vent holesand is painted blue. The fuze safety lever is also painted bluewith a brown band on the tip end of the safety lever. The gre-nade body may be recovered and reloaded with a new fuzecartridge after each use. The charge assembly (cartridge)containing the stun charge is a stand-alone sealed assemblyachieved by the application of epoxy material at the chargeholder joint between the plug and the metal fuze adapter. Themodified M201A1 Fuze is also sealed with epoxy at its threadlocation with fuze adapter. The modified M201A1 Fuze is apyrotechnic delay-igniting fuze. The fuze body contains aprimer, first-fire mixture, pyrotechnic delay column, andignition mixture. Assembled to the body are a striker, strikerspring, blue safety lever with a brown band at the tip end, pri-mary safety pin with circular pull ring, and secondary safetypin with triangular pull ring. The split ends of the safety pinshave an angular spread.

NOTE

The M102 RSPHG is normally issued as separate com-ponents, as required. Components consist of a PracticeStun Hand Grenade Body and an M240 Stun HandGrenade Fuze cartridge.

c. Functioning. The M102 RSPHG is functioned byfirst removing the secondary safety pin assembly, then theprimary safety pin assembly, and then by releasing the safetylever which allows the spring-loaded striker to hit the primerigniting the primer. After release of the safety lever, there is adelay of 1.0 to 2.3 seconds before initiation of the stun chargewhich produces the flash and sound report.
