Hi, Can anybody tell me more about this rifle grenade?

Maybe it's called "MDF Polyvalent grenade". I think it's a french prototype.

Thanks.

Hello,

French grenade made by Luchaire. This grenade was made to be launched with rifle or hand (without tail assembly). This grenade could be fitted with a fragmentation sleeve.
Three modes for operation fuze : time, time and impact, impact (all ways fuze).
Filling : 85 grammes of explosive (TNT, Hexolite 50/50)
The white grenade shown (picture 1) could be a dummy version (colour code for inert/drill).

I don't know if this grenade entered service.

Regards
 
Some origial documentation on the Experimental Polyvalent Rifle grenade (GR POL EXPL MDF1)...
