The Soviet
RGD-33 was an anti-personnel
fragmentation stick grenade
developed in 1933
from the Model
1914 grenade used during World
War I.
The RGD-33 is constructed with a central detonator around which is the 80 gram
(TNT)
bursting charge. The charge is contained within a cylindrical can attached to a
short throwing handle. Between the outer metal casing and the explosive charge
is a series of deeply embossed steel cylindrical shells. Upon detonation the
shells fragment in a multitude of mainly rectangular shaped thin steel
fragments, which, along with the casing and detonator fragments, retard rapidly
in air. |
