Odeti M1 grenade

[therealdries]

Hello... does anyone have any information on the Odeti M1 hand grenade manufactured by Rupturita in Brazil? A diagram and/or some specs would be really helpful to me.

Also, does anyone know anything about it's history? As in, was it ever standard equipment for Brazilian forces (or any forces, for that matter), or was it simply experimental?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have any brochures, but the images in the auction link below will allow you to estimate its dimensions by scaling if you know the dimensions of the two other grenades.

Lot #1422: LOT OF 3: SPANISH AND BRAZILIAN HAND GRENADES.

The images in the link below shows how the grenade works: a multilinear shaped charge to regularly break up the steel wire coil. Obviously no dimensions again, or the HE mass.

For note I search for the item in Portuguese too (m1 Granada de mão defensiva ofensiva), zilch information of any use came up.

Researching any vintage military equipment that isn't US, British or Russian is such a pain, isn't it? Thanks anyway... I got some specs from ordnance.info that I somehow missed.

Don't know how I missed that - thanks!
