The M31 HEAT is a fin-stabilized anti-tank rifle grenade designed in the late 1950s to replace the Belgian ENERGA rifle grenade which was adopted by the US Army and US Marines as an emergency stop-gap measure during the Korean War. Like the ENERGA, it has a nose-initiated, based-detonated HEAT warhead, but unlike the ENERGA, the mechanical impact fuse system is replaced with a less complex and more reliable piezo-electric fuse system which also allows higher angles of impact, up to 65 degrees.
This example has not been repainted and retains the original blue color very well, with all markings still legible. The grenade is approximately 17” in length with a 3 ¾” base width, including the fins. The tail fins are a little bent, but that is expected with trainers such as this one, at least you know it was used by the military! This example comes in its original tube which measures 18¼”.
