Rubber Rifle Grenades. These rifle grenades are excellent replicas of the originals, made of rubber and aluminum. The shaft is made of aluminum (inside diameter 27/32″), the fins are rubber as are the heads- so no metal edges should hit your enemy. In the main picture the grenades are as follows: (A) M17 Anti-Personnel in early war yellow and (B) in mid to late war OD (8.1 ounces) (C) M9A1 Anti Tank Late War Version in Olive Drab, and the early war version in yellow (D) (10.3 ounces), and last (E) The early version of the M9 AT is 8.3 ounces. These are designed to work with regular reenactor blanks, not the super-charged military issue blanks. Those more powerful government issue blanks might send your grenade into the next county, or over time, blow the end right off the grenade. Practice before you take them to a reenactment! Only fire them at above a 45 degree angle. Any angle lower and you could hurt someone or damage equipment, and if you miss your target, send your grenade into oblivion. With the reenactor crimped blank in a Springfield bolt-action rifle we get between 50-75 yards, M1s a little less. There are videos on YouTube, or check out our Instagram page. Many guys have used these with SKS rifles, and any launcher that fits US rounds will work. We do not have any launchers for sale, but check the reenactor forums, or eBay. There are some great videos of these in action on YouTube! Comes with a piece of orange or yellow ribbon you can tie on the tube of the grenade to help find it. However many people in tall grass areas add even a longer, brighter ribbon. Never tie the ribbon or cord to the fin, only to the main body and lace it through the fin slats. Don’t be stupid and fire these directly at people. The versions again: From the Main Listing Picture (A) Mid to late war M9A1 Anti Tank, (B) Mid to late war M17 Anti Personnel, (C) Early War, 1942 M9A1 Anti Tank, (D) Early war up to 1942 M17 Anti Personnel, and (E) Early war M9 Anti Tank.

Now you can convert your dummy grenade into a nice display piece! Don’t fire our dummy rifle grenades with the pin in it though…
