M3 and F3

[jvollenberg]

So maybe someone can help me.
The new ordata has listed a M3 French smoke grenade:
https://ordata.info/ordnance?id=3339
Lex's site has the F3 French smoke grenade:
http://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/europe/france/colouredsmokef3.html

Are they the same thing? And did the French ever call them M3? Given what I have seen on French smoke grenades I think the M3 is wrong, and they are the same. However, I could be wrong.

Thanks,

Joe

Most likely the same. Pretty sure the name was F3

Hi,
For the smoke grenades, we never use the letter M but always F (F1, F2, F3....). The same letter F for the different type of grenades fuzes!
Hope that help you,
JM

Hi Joe,

I saw Ordata had almost no info on them, so i added the datasheets for the F3

Thank everyone ... I thought they might be the same thing.
