Abstract: A selectable yield fragmentation grenade is provided with a feature for relatively easily setting the output of the grenade to a higher or to a lower yield lethality output of fragments. An operator can selectively inflate the grenade by various provisions, and such inflation lowers the grenade's lethality yield output.

Abstract: Disclosed is an irritation grenade (1) comprising a receptacle (2) with at least one compartment (12) within which an effective charge (3) is accommodated and which ends in one respective discharge port (21, 22) on opposite sides of the receptacle (2) while being locked by means of a closure (15). A rocker-arm type igniter (4) is provided to ignite the effective charges. The combustion gases of the effective charges (3) are deflected in part by parts of the rocker-arm igniter (4) such that the irritation grenade is displaced when the effective charges (3) are ignited.

Abstract: A breaching device for controlled blasting of an object at short range includes a blasting element including an explosive charge contained within a housing, the blasting element being configured to blast the object from a preset distance. Connected to, and extending from, the housing is a stand-off rod having a length equal to the preset distance. A pyrotechnic lead pellet is associated with the blasting element and with the stand-off rod so as to detonate the explosive charge upon impact of the stand-off rod with the object. A tail is provided for stabilizing the device during its flight to the object. The tail is connected to the blasting element through a “safe and arm” device and a safety connector configured to reduce shock forces acting on the tail resulting from detonation of the explosive charge.

Abstract: A rifle grenade includes a head with an axial bore and a tail with a bore that is continuous with the axial bore of the head. The chamber divides the tail into front and rear portions. The chamber has a lateral wall with a cavity formed therein. A bullet passage plug is elastically fitted in the chamber and is axially movable between rear and front positions. The cavity contains a charge in addition to the main explosive charge of the grenade.

Abstract: Multiple use grenade, characterized in that it principally consists in the combination of a telescopic grenade (2) of a type in itself know, for example a grenade capable of being launched with the assistance of a rifle, and a fuse-plug (1) for a hand grenade, also of a type which is known.

Abstract: Anit-vehicle grenade of the type comprising a head (1) extended by a tubular tail (8), an axial bore (6) going through the head and running into the bore (7) of the tubular tail (9), characterized in that, between the safety device (3), respectively the detonator 4 placed assymmetrically with respect to the axis A--A of the grenade, on the one hand, and the hollow charge (2) of the grenade, on the other hand, means of transmission of the shock wave caused by the detonator (4) are mounted allowing to obtain a firing that is symmetrical about the axis of said hollow charge (2).

Abstract: A signal flare cartridge for launching by firearms. The cartridge is adap for ignition and launching by live ammunition and comprises a launcher tube holding a tubular flare body adapted to permit the passage of a bullet. Upon firing the bullet passes through the bores of the flare body and the propellant gases ignite the flare body which is propelled from the launcher tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to a projectile having a head extended by a tubular tail and containing an explosive charge as well as a firing chain for the latter. The tail is made of two telescopic tubular parts, one of which is integral with the head and together with the head carries a first part of the firing chain, the other carrying the remaining part of the firing chain, and guiding means that are distributed over the two parts in order to assign them a determined angular position depending on their relative axial position.
