Product Description

The V-40 fragmentation hand grenade was manufactured in the Netherlands and was in service in the Canadian Forces, the US Armed Forces and NATO allies. The V40 grenade is spherical in shape, 6.5 cm (2.6 in) high and 4 cm (1.6 in) in diameter - approximately the size of a golf ball. It has a safety pin and safety lever with a safety clip attached to the safety lever. The steel body of the grenade has 326 squares pressed into its inside face to produce separate fragments when the explosive fill is detonated. The V-40 weighed 136 grams (4.8 oz) and was issued primed from the manufacturer. Fuse delay time was four seconds. This grenade was considered lethal up to a radius of 5 metres (16 ft) and dangerous up to 300 metres (980 ft) from point of impact. Due to its small size, a considerable number could be carried; however, its small size also made the weapon dangerous when wearing gloves, as the impact of the striker on the primer was difficult to feel. These grenades were in service from the late 1960s to at least 2008.

This kit contains all necessary parts for assembling FIVE fragmentation mini handgrenade miniatures under 1/16 scale, to be used with same scale figures. Any extra diorama accessories are not included and should be purchased separately.
