During the flight of the grenade, the delay composition shall burn through and ignite the burster charge. The grenade shall burst 30 + 8 meters
17、from the discharger at a height of 6 meters to 12 meters. - (b) When the grenade bursts, the burst shall break the red phosphorus/ butyl rubber pellet into pieces approximately the size of the original granules and ignite these granular pieces. The burst shall then rupture the rubber body and scatte

The burning, falling granules shall reinforce the smoke cloud by continuing to burn for no more than 6 minutes No more than 25 grams of unignited granules (c) The t
19、ime from grenade-launch to good obscuration, as a result of the grenades smoke, shall be no more than 6 seconds. good obscuration for not less than 60 seconds as assessed by an experienced observer .
