I have attached some photos of three ring airfoil grenades. They are approximately 60mm in diameter. The grenade design, is to take an airfoil shape (airplane wing), and wrap it around on itself to make a circle. They are fired horizontally from a launcher, and are supposed to have a very flat trajectory.
The first is a dummy made from metal and plastic. The other two are designed to carry CS powder. Their bodies are made from a flexible rubber, and have pockets all around the outside to carry the CS powder. The pockets can be seen in the unlabeled one, as shadows under the tape.
There were supposed to be HE versions, but I have never seen one.
If anyone has more info, I would greatly appreciate them sharing.
