This grenade is issued loaded and fuzed with the M 10 A3 igniting fuse. The fuseconsists of • body, striker, safety lever, and safety pin. The body of the fuse iscylindrical in swipe and is threaded for assembly to the grenade. It contains theprimer, • length of delay fuse sufficient to give an average delay of 4.b 'seconds,and an igniter cup containing 7 grains• of black powder. At the top of the body oneside is extended to form • lip for the attachment of the safety lever, the otherside forme • hinge to carry the spring-loaded striker. The striker is restrainedby the safety lever. The lever is hooked over the lip of the fuse body, extendsacross the heed of the fuse, over the striker, and curves downward in an arc that.conforms to the shape of the grenade.

Operation •When the safety pin is removed preparatory to throwing the lever Is held in place

by the hand ho/ding the grenade. When the grenade is thrown, the lever is released.The striker, driven by its spring, throws off the lever and rotates about its pivotto strike the primer. The primer ignites the delay element which takes about 4.5seconds to burn through to the igniter. When ignited by the delay element, theigniter bursts the cup and explodes the main charge of the grenade.

Effective fragmentation covers an area of 30 yards radius, but fragments may flyas far as 200 yards.

World War I fragmentation grenades (land Grenade, Prageentation. 111, Mk II) ware'loaded with granular T.K.T. and fired by • detonating fuse. This grenade was stored•and issued unfused and was fueed in-the field.

An earlier model of the fuse is the i 10 A2 which is identical to the M 10 A3,described soove, except for the details of the delay element which gave •delay ofabout 5 seconds (4.3 to 5.6 seoonds).

B.C. powder is the abbreviation for Unlceive Garment, and refers to the mainfiller which consists of nitro selluloss,'potassfum nitrate.barinm nitrate, and •de-sensitizer. The 'plosive is pink colored and is sensitive to friction, shook, andheat. It burns readily end explodes when confined.

Description

The T 13, popularly known as the 'Beano", is about the shape and *im p of • base-ball. The body is very thin and the grenade is used for fragmentation in • small areawith the danger area for unprotected personnel being approximately 20 yards.

The T 6 is an all-ways Impact type fuse designed to detonate the grenade regard-less of the position on impact.

ration(a) When the grenade is thrown' after removal of the safety pin, the cap is

forced away from the fuze body by • cap spring. The sap acts as • paraebut•, unwinding• string and pulling out the arming pin from the grenade. The fuss is new armed,because of the 2 retaining balls which prevented movement of the firing pin assemblytoward the primer can now recede into the firing pin assembly, permitting functioningupon impact. With an average throw, arming should oecur at a distance of about 20 feet.

(b) Impact in either direction along the axis of the firing pin anises funatian-ing Impetus* the firing pin assembly and the primer bolder are toned together. Impostat right angles to the axis of the firing.pin emus*, functioning bee:•oss the top ofthe firing pin assembly is forced to follow the spherical surface of the underside ofthe fuse head, thus forcing the firing pin into the primer.

(c) The M 26 primer functions the M 17 detonator, which in turn sets off abooster ring, booster pellet and finally the main bursting charge.

Remarks

Do not attempt to replace the arming pin env the grenade has bloc armed.

This grenade consists of • cylindrical pressed fiber body end • charge of pressedT.N.T. The head contains • threaded fuze hole which is sealed by a waterproof paper 'disc.

It is fused with the Y6 A3 detonating fuze which has • delay varying between 4.3and 4.1 . seconds. The fuse consists of • threaded metal body which contains theprimer, delay element, and detonator, end to which s spring driven striker is at-tached. The striker is restrained by the safety lever which hooks over the lip ofthe body, peaces •across the head of the body, over the striker, and down the side ofthe grenade. The lever is held in place during shipping and handling by • splitsafety pin which passes through the safety lever, through the fuse body, And over thestriker to protrude on the other side where It is spread so that • pull of between10 and 30 lbs. is required to withdraw it. This fuze is distinguished from ignitingfuzes by the red sealing compound (instead of grain) used to lid In g osling the det-onator into the fuze. It differs from the 810 A3 in that the safety lever is straight,while that of the 810 AS le curved. It differs from the 8 200 Al in that the lengthof the body is approximately four inches as compered with • body length of 2 inches-for the 8200 Al. The detonator consists of s seven-grain primer charge end a 13.5grain tetryl charge.

The principle use of this grenade is for demolition, and though no protection isneeded from fragments of the grenade, ware 'mould be exercised to have *over avail-able against fragments of the structure demolished.

When the safety pih is removed I eparatory to throwing the lever is held inplace by the nand holding the grenade. Shen the grenade is thrown, the lever is .released. The striker, driest by its spring, throws off the lever and rotates aboutIts pivot to strike the primer. The primer ignites the delay element which takesabout 4.5 seconds to burn through to the detonator.

•The explosion of the detonator sets off the main charge producing a blast of-.

fact. This blast is not effective •3ainst personnel except et very short imoseeor In enclosed spaces.

The upper halfcontains the fuze assembly wnich is similar In appearance and in operation to that -of the fragment•tlon band grenade.

The grenade may be thrown as • hand grenade, or fired from s rifle using theGrenade Launcher, the Grenade Projection-Adaptor 11-1, end tame blank ammunitionprovided for each weapon for that purpose.

Operation

1, Hand Launching.

For hand launching the grenade is Mud in one hand with the safety leveragainst the palm. The safety pin is removed with- the other band. When the grenadeis thrown, the safety lover le released, end the striker,'driven by its spring,forces the ff, swings around Its pivot, and strikes the primer. The flamefrom the primer ignites a decay train which barns through to the black powder charge.The bleak powder onarge burets the ease and ignites the pyrotechnics.

2. Rifle Launching.
