Yugoslavian M60P1 HE Rie Grenade

M60P1 HE Rie Grenade
This is a 30mm spigot launched
rie grenade designed to produce
large penetrating fragments.
The main body is made of steel,
with an aluminum tail boom and
plastic ns.
Modern spigot launched grenades typically are designed to t a
22mm diameter launcher. This was rst standardized for NATO
forces, and apparently has become an international (?)
standard.

The base plug

holds a special
grenade
launching
cartridge
(7.62x39)
This grenade is listed as having a 410 meter range, with 50 meter fragmentation radius.
The fuze is a UTM-70-P1 SuperQuick impact type.
The safety cap is removed and the pin unscrewed to ready for use. The safety mechanism arms
when red.

The photo below, (20 Feb,1999), is of Serbian Police on patrol in Studenane, Kosovo.
These appear to be similar grenades, of a slightly dierent body prole. I don't know their
designation.

Here is the Yugoslavian AKM variation of the Avtomat Kalashnikov-47 with a spigot launcher for
rie grenades.
The integral grenade sight ips up and blocks the gas port to the cycling mechanism so that all
gas is diverted into the barrel for launching. With the sight down it will cycle as a regular AK.
Also show are Yugoslavian M60 HEAT and M60P1 HE grenade types.
Thank you very much Walt, for the photos.
