Description
The Grenade No. 87 is a smoke rifle grenade. The complete grenade consists of a white phosphorus filled head, an adapter, fuze, and tail unit. The head is similar in construction to the Smoke Grenade No. 77 Mk I, differing only slightly in size and markings. An adapter, which threads into the after section of the grenade head, is itself internally threaded to take the tail unit. The tail unit and fuze of this grenade are similar to those used in the Rifle Grenade No. 85.
