More model informationThe Gewehr-Sprenggranate was launched from a Gewehrgranatengerät or Schiessbecher (“shooting cup”) on a standard service rifle by a blank cartridge.
The Gewehr-Sprenggranate consisted of a tubular steel body filled with PETN, a rifled driving band, a nose impact fuze, a friction igniter, and a time fuze. When the rifle is fired the flash from the blank cartridge enters a hole in the base of the grenade which starts both a friction igniter and a time fuze. The grenade will then detonate on contact by the impact fuze, detonate after 4.5 seconds by the friction igniter or detonate after another 6.5 seconds by a time fuze for a total of 11 seconds.
