An explosive fragmentation rifle grenade which is efficient, compact and simple to construct comprises a fragmentable hollow body (1), whose front part has a cover (2) for removably holding a head fuse (3). A tubular member (5) carrying a vane assembly (10) extends within the body (1), and bears on the front portion thereof by way of a bracer member (6) having a central recess (9). The bracer member forms a housing which carries a primer charge (8). The cover and bracer member may be replaced by a single plug, and the tubular member may be attached directly to the body and carry the primer charge in a housing formed therein. The main explosive (7) is disposed between the body (1), cover (2), member (5) and bracer (6). The member (5) may contain a deformable structure which absorbs the energy of the ball which is fired to propel the grenade. <IMAGE> |
