-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a good example of the bursting type, plastic Simulant T1 “Riot Control” grenade known as the M25A2. The grenade retains the fuze and plugs as well as the markings, and comes in the partial original husk.
Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.
The M25 riot control hand grenades are bursting type grenades filled with either the CN, CS, or DM riot control agent or the T1 simulant agent. The 3 main variants differ in the construction of the grenade's body. An experimental adapter to allow the grenade to be rifle launched was tested, but not adopted. It is advised that friendly forces should put on protective masks before throwing these types of grenades as changes in the direction of the wind and other factors may lead them to be exposed to the resulting gas.
The M25 grenades were only filled with CN agent, while the M25A1 used CN1. The M25A2 was filled with CN1, CS1, or DM1 riot control agents or the T1 riot control agent simulant for use as a training aid. The DM sub-variant had a separate experimental designator, E21, with an improved type being designated E21R1 before the grenade was standardized as a sub-variant of the M25A2 grenade.
The shell is marked:
TRNG T1 M25A2 2033-74-1001.
The husk retains markings on the side:
GRENADE, HAND, RIOT
SIMULANT T1, M25A2
A lovely example ready for further research and display.
