Rgd-33
Hello,
Does anyone know what is the real weight of trotyl loading in the russian grenade RGD-33 ?
Internet source mentions 85 grammes and If I understand well cyrilic translation, russian documentation mentions 140 grammes. Maybe I missed something.
RegardsAny Live or Dug ordnance shown by me has been disposed of by EOD personnel .

It is strange all Sovjet information says 140 gram and all Western information I have says 85 gram.
All Items of Live Ordnance posted by me have been disposed of by EOD.
