Polish CGN 'rifle grenade'

[batonroundcollector]

I've seen this described as a 'rifle grenade', but upon using Google Translate on some Polish sites, do I understand correctly that this was in fact launched by a rifle (the kbkg wz. 1960, an AK variant intended only for launching grenades), but was used only in conjunction with artillery gun sights for training artillery gunners, as in pic below?

I have only seen practice versions of this design (if this was intended purpose there would only be practice ones), in both black paint and bare metal finish and not sure if this signifies any difference?

would be interested in any further info on other Polish rifle grens for AK too

That was my understanding of it. Part of an artillery training device. Nice to see a photo of it in use, thanks.

thanks... so these were never used for training in use of rifle grenades as such?

I wouldn't say never, but they were not designed for use as a rifle grenade, they were for the artillery trainer.
