As with its predecessors, the grenade's means of propulsion is of the bullet-trap type and is launched from the muzzle of the L85A2 rifle using standard ball ammunition. For maximum accuracy a dedicated prismatic sight can be attached to the rifle.[1]

The grenade was phased out of service due to the introduction of the L17A2 Underslung Grenade Launcher.[2]

Notes

gollark: Glowstone coolers.
gollark: Yes, but moderators.
gollark: So I tried to design something satisfying as many of those constraints as possible, and came out with this, which coincidentally has *great* cooling support.
gollark: Also I think the cells need to be on the same axis as other cells to improve efficiency.
gollark: Well, since each moderator improves efficiency, you want to have as many active moderators as possible.
