MK1 Hand Grenade

Details

Title MK1 Hand Grenade
Description The MK 1 Hand Grenade was retired from service before the end of WWI due to deficiencies experiences by soldiers in the field. It was marketed as one of the most reliable grenades, but that was disproven. The grenade was developed so American troops could carry grenades of their own without having to be equipped with French F1’s or British “Mills Bombs”.
