Design Examples have been encountered olive green with no markings and olive green with black markings. The body has a layer of cut rod fragments embedded in a tar-like matrix between the explosive filler and the body. The screw-on fuze cap on the end of the handle has been encountered in both plastic and metal.

Note A misfired grenade may function at any time. A random delay function may be caused by deterioration or dampness which prolongs the burning time of the pyrotechnic delay.
