The Mines, Demolition, and Grenades office of the Munitions Armament Center (MAC) is conducting a market survey of industry to identify sources interested in the manufacture of the complete M67 Fragmentation Grenade. The M67 Fragmentation Grenade is used to supplement small arms fire in close combat situations. The grenade produces casualties by high velocity projection of fragments in a uniform pattern when detonated. The M67 utilizes a steel spherical body, filled with high explosives that are initiated by a pyrotechnic delay fuze. This device is comprised of three (3) major components. They are, 1) the metal body, 2) a pyrotechnic delay detonating fuze, and 3) the Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP) of the explosive composition and the components into the final assembly. The technical description of this item is identified as: Grenade, Hand, Fragmentation, Delay, M67, NSN 1330-00-133-8244, and PN 9235492.
