Chemical Rifle Grenades

Two types of chemical rifle grenades are:

BURNING TYPE.-Used chiefly for screening and signal

ing purposes.

BURSTING TYPE. This grenade is the counterpart of the WP smoke hand grenade. The WP smoke rifle grenade has a stabilizer and fin assembly identical to that used in the antitank grenade. It contains white phosphorus and is equipped with a burster actuated by a basedetonating fuze. The spontaneously combustible white phosphorus is scattered upon impact.

Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions should be observed: 1. Since fragments may be projected over 200 yards, fragmentation grenades will not be used where there is a possibility of hitting innocent bystanders or damaging private property.

2. The safety pin will be removed just before throwing or launching, and at no other time.

3. Occasionally, chemical grenades may flash. Hence, when used, they will be so thrown as to function not less than 30 feet from personnel.

4. Duds will be disposed of in accordance with the provisions in other printed publications.

5. Rifle grenades must never be launched with a cartridge other than the special grenade cartridges provided for that purpose.

6. The fuze furnished with the fragmentation grenade is noiseless, smokeless, and sparkless. Under no condition, therefore, will the thrower consider the grenade a dud because no noise, smoke, or sparks are observed upon release of the safety lever.

1. In what order are the dismounted parts of a .45 pistol assembled?
