M9 heat

[jvollenberg]

does anyone have a M9 US HEAT Grenade they can take pictures of and post it? I am looking for the one with the flat looking nose not the round warhead version.

Hello,

Hi. That’s a fantastic example of a very hard to find piece. I have the head of one that was found in the Guadalcanal area. I would like to make up a top for it and improve it's displayability. Would you mind adding closer photo of it looking down on the top cover? Thanks

Additional photos of the M9 HEAT, for those who asked. The shipping can has no markings but I believe it to be original to the Grenade.

Hey MA012,

Thanks for posting the M9 Pics, I immediately thought of your example when I first read this request for photos!

See you soon,

Hi. Thanks for the great pic's and information. Is "D.O." the manufacturers code? If so, does anybody know who they were? Cheers

Rfl Gren M11

Hello everyone,
I wrote today a commentar in a (I think) US site that this Gren, named M11, was a lived practice grenade of the M9. His flat nose was previous for reduce his range.
Here the link of this site

Hi Yoda.
The black one shown on the website is a practice version of the yellow M9. It is inert and can be re used many times.

Okaayyyy for black M11. Can you confirm that the M9 flat nose (I call it so!) was a training grenade and not a "war" grenade ?

[paul the grenade]

Hi yoda.
It was definately a live "WAR" grenade. but only used for a few years before the M9A1 took its place. The nose fuze interfered with the shaped charge jet so they changed the gren to a base fuze on the A1.
Cheers, Paul.

Okay, thanks for the infos, Paul.

Cheers
