These two parts can be disassembled like originals. that can be unscrewed like originals.

Dimensions are 1:1 compared to an original M9A1 grenade, and will fit original grenade launchers (see photos).

BODY COLOR :

The body is made with dark grey PETG, then painted OD green.

A light coat of patina is then applied for better visual realism.

When using your grenade, the paint will slowly wear off and scratch over time, revealing the grey/steel aspect underneath (just like the real deal, which is a plus regarding authenticity).

MARKINGS :

Yellow markings indicate the grenade type, lot number, and manufacturing dates.

They are roll stamped using a rubber stamp (the same way they were during WWII), which sometimes causes some numbers and letters to be missed or smudged. This is an acceptable "error", because original manufactures had the exact same problem.

Pin is made of metal, and can be removed (even though we advise you not to do so in order to ensure better durability of the product).

OVERALL WEIGHT :

100g.
