Design
The grenade has a tear-drop shaped body and could, initially, be mistaken for a mortar bomb, however, the tail boom is much longer and there is a locating ring around the four fixed tail fins behind which is a multi-perforated steel disc.
The nose cap (silver colored portion) is inert and is not part of the fuzing system, designed to prevent ricochets on impact.
Note #1
This HEAT grenade is an inertia impact base detonating, fin-stabilised, shaped-charge grenade designed to be fired from the smooth bored 82mm Chinese Type 65 or Type 65-1 recoilless guns which are copies of the Soviet B-10.
Note #2
The Type 65 projected grenade should not be confused as a mortar (not fired via a mortar tube), projectile (no driving band) or a rocket (no rocket motor).
