Mk II: This grenade consists of a fragmentation body with a filling hole in the base, an Igniting Fuze M205 or M103A3, a small charge of black powder, and a cork plug in the filling hole. Extra fuzes, charges, and plugs are supplied separately, so that the grenade body can be re-used. |
|
Operation: When set off by the delay element, the igniter fires the small black-pow-der charge, which goes off with a loud report and blows the cork plug out of the filling hole. |
|
Mk IA1: This grenade consists of an iron body and simulated fuze, all cast in one pie-ce to resemble a Fragmentation Grenade Mk IIA1. The simulated fuze has a removable safety pin and ring. There is a hole in the bottom of the grenade body. There is no char-ge in either the grenade or the fuze. It is painted black, with a white band at the top. |
