Design
The grenade has a tear-drop-shaped body and could, initially, be mistaken for a mortar bomb, however, there is a locating ring around the four fixed tail fins behind which is a multi-perforated steel disc. The grenade is made of cast and machined steel with a tail of pressed steel to which the fins and ring are welded.
In the base of the tail, a pressed in tracer housing is placed.
Note
The Type 52 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).
