Description
Grenade projection adapters M1 series adapt fragmentation, practice, illuminating and WP smoke hand grenades for launching from a rifle.
Three different models are available: the M1, the M1A1 and the M1A2. Adapter M1 can be used with fragmentation hand grenade Mk 2 only. Adapters M1A1 and M1A2 consist of four parts: a fin assembly, a stabilizer tube, a cup and three claws. The adapter is fabricated from sheet steel with three spring-steel claws. These grip and hold the grenade in the adapter. The fin assembly is attached to one end of the stabilizer tube. The cup and claws are attached to the other end of the stabilizer tube. An arming clip is attached to the longest of the three claws.
