Description
This is a thin walled grenade intended for use against armored forces vehicles, but more generally used in demolition work. The grenade consists of a tin-plate container with a top of the same material, which screws onto the body by means of interrupted threads. A recess in the middle of the lid is threaded to take the Fuze No. 247. The fuze is cemented in position and issued with the grenade. The detonator tube screws into the lower portion of the fuze housing. A commercial Detonator No. 8 is used. A felt disc at the top of the filling absorbs any exudate from the explosive. A strip of adhesive tape secures the lid to the body on issue.
