ah yes, its the Daniels & Garner mk 3 0r 4 allways impact launched from the 2 inch cup discharger.

Nice to see Tom. This particular pattern body was 60mm diameter. The D&G grenades seemingly could also be fitted with a rod, insofar as they had a base plug threaded internally capable of receiving a rod, but I have not seen the use of rods referred to in reports, I expect there was a danger of the rod penetrating through to the detonator.

Spot on Paul, a Daniels & Gardner Mk IV percussion.

All yours.

3.2 inch Heller

 

[ammocat]

Correct. That was fast. I guess I should have put up a photo of the 4 inch Heller to make it more challenging. Here's the whole photo that I hijacked from another thread. Photo originally posted by US-Subs.
