Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert and demilitarized according to BATF guidelines with hollow body and inert fuse. This grenade cannot be converted to an explosive device and is not available for export.
This is a very nice inert practice example of the rare U.S. M67 Hand Fragmentation Grenade, first fielded during the Vietnam War and still current today. It is marked on the body:
NSN 1330-00-178-8515
GRENADE HAND PRACTICE M69
It retains the pull ring, with a hole drilled through the bottom of the grenade body to show that it is empty. The fuze is marked:
FUZE M228
MEI99K
015-005
Condition is good with some oxidation as shown, a great practice grenade. The husk is in good shape and has the styrofoam fuze holder.
The M67 grenade has a spherical steel body that contains 6.5 oz (180 g) of composition B explosive. It uses the M213 pyrotechnic delay fuze. The M67 grenade weighs 14 oz (400 g) in total and has a safety clip to prevent the safety pin on the grenade from being pulled accidentally. The safety pin prevents the safety lever, or "spoon" on the grenade from moving and releasing the spring-loaded striker which initiates the grenade's fuze assembly. The M67 is typically known as a "baseball" grenade, because it is shaped like a ball that can be easily thrown. Other variations include the "pineapple" grenade and the World War 2 era "stick" grenade.
The M67 can be thrown 30 to 35 metres (98 to 115 ft) by the average male soldier. Its fuze delays detonation between 4 and 5 seconds after the spoon is released. Steel fragments (not to be confused with shrapnel) are provided by the grenade body and produce an injury radius of 15 metres (49 ft), with a fatality radius of 5 metres (16 ft), though some fragments can disperse as far out as 250 metres (820 ft).
