DESCRIPTION: |
The grenade is a tear drop shaped glass flask sealed at the upper end by drawing out the flask. This end is protected by a cardboard sleeve fixed to the glass with plaster. The grenade contains 10.6 ounces of FM which produces the smoke cloud when the gre-nade is broken. The quality of the smoke cloud depends on the humidity of the atmos-phere. |
