M67 Grenade

The standard US defensive fragmentation hand grenade since 1961 — a spherical, Composition-B-filled grenade with a 5-meter lethal radius and continuous combat use from Vietnam through Iraq and Afghanistan.

Overview

The M67, formally designated Grenade, Hand, Fragmentation, M67, is a defensive fragmentation hand grenade manufactured by Day & Zimmermann and Nammo for the United States military and its allies. It replaced the M26-series and the iconic Mk 2 “pineapple” in the early 1960s and remains the baseline fragmentation grenade of the NATO bloc. With a spherical steel body, a Composition B filler of approximately 0.18 kg, and the M213 pyrotechnic-delay fuze, the M67 delivers a lethal radius of about 5 metres and a wounding radius out to 15 metres. Over 43 million units have been produced, and current contract prices hover around $45 per grenade, according to Nammo and Day & Zimmermann.
