Original U.S. Vietnam War Era - Post Vietnam Era Inert M69 Practice Fragmentation Grenade Lot With Claymore “Clacker” and More - 7 Items

Item Description

Original Items: Only One Lot of 7 Available. This is a fantastic assortment of infantry related ordnance items! All items are inert and completely void of any explosive content and cannot be converted back to a live device. They are all in total compliance per the current BATF guidelines governing ordnance.

Not Available For Export.

The items featured in this lot:
- x5 M69 “Bluebody” Practice Grenades: These are all complete with the M228 fuze, safety “thumb clip”, spoons and pins. Only one of the grenades retain the original blue paint while the others were repainted OD green to give them a realistic look. The M69 practice hand grenade simulates the M67-series of fragmentation hand grenades for training purposes. The grenade provides realistic training and familiarizes the user with the functioning and characteristics of the fragmentation hand grenade. The fuze screws into the body, and is replaceable after use. The simulator produces a report and small puff of white smoke when employed.

The M69 has a blue-painted lever and a blue body with white markings. This is to indicate that it is a safe practice grenade rather than a live fragmentation grenade like the M33 or M67.

- 40mm M385A1 Practice Round: This practice cartridge is fired from 40mm Grenade Launcher M75 and 40mm Grenade Machine Gun Mk 19 Mod 3. The cartridge is designed only for practice or for proof testing weapons. Not authorized for use in M129 Grenade Launcher.

This cartridge is a fixed round of ammunition. It differs from the M385 cartridge in that the ogive matches the shape of the M430 projectile ogive. It consists of a one-piece solid inert aluminum projectile body together with a metal rotating band which is press-fitted into an aluminum bi-chambered cartridge. The case contains the propelling charge and percussion primer.

It is linked only with the M16A2 link, whereas the M385 is linked with either M16A1 or M16A2 links. The propelling charge is contained in a spherical high pressure propellant chamber with vent holes in the top. The chamber is sealed at the bottom with an aluminum base plug which is crimped to the base of the cartridge case. The hollow upper chamber in the case acts as a low pressure chamber. A percussion primer is crimped into the center of the case closing plug.

- Claymore Mine M57 “Clacker” Firing Device (Dated 1976): The M57 firing device (colloquially referred to as the "clacker") is included with each mine. An M40 circuit test set is packed in each case of six mines. When the mines are daisy-chained together, one firing device can detonate several mines.
