Gildwiller1918 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Here is a WW2 US M7 grenade launcher attachment for the M1 Garand rifle, the M1 Carbine used a different model (the M8). This launcher attached quickly to the front barrel of the rifle, and utilized a blank cartridge to propel the grenade from the launcher and had a range around 200 meters. Several grenade types were used for this launcher, such as fragmentation, smoke and flares to name a few. Below is the M1A1 grenade projection adapter and used a M2 fragmentation grenade, which was held in place by metal prongs. The spoon was secured by a clip so the pin could be pulled and the grenade would not go off until it was fired and the spoon was released. Also shown is a M19A1 signal flare, still sealed in its container. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
