Video Description
At long last it's finally here! Rifle grenades were developed during the First World War to bridge the range gap between hand-thrown grenades and trench mortars and to give infantry more convenient close fire support. In this video, I head out to the range to demonstrate three different rifle grenade systems: -British No.1 Mk.III Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) with Burns 2.5-inch discharger cup (WWI Era) -German Mauser KAR98K with Schiessbecher discharger cup (WWII Era) -French MAS 36/51 with 22mm NATO grenade launching spigot (1950s/60s)
