Does anyone have any good color pictures of the pieces and parts of this rocket?

The only images I have are from this web site, but would like to get some good color images of the pieces and if possible find a mnaual on how it works.

The Picture shows the newer Type of Rockets, there are older models DM12 and DM22 with that bigger head
blu97 s picture shows also a fuze.

If you joe have more detailed questions, feel free to ask, but i have no further Pictures.

Hi Manniman, do u have any detailed description of the countermass propulsion of this launcher, I suppose it's quite similar to the pzf-3 propulsion, so if any for both I will be thankful.

I will have a look soon, but it is not so easy.
There were at least 3-6 different propulsion charges for the different grenades and different developements

Dear Johnreed,

the launcher used the following propulsion charges:
DM12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 52A1B1 and 62
The DM62 was designated for the improved DM32 grenade

I sadly do not have any further infos or pictures. I know that some of the propulsion had an extra countermass to be used only during cold conditions. It looked like some 5-10 plates at the end of the charge. They could easily be removed by pulling a string placed underneath and lifting them.
