Vid M1 Test Firing Grenade

[eclancy]

Gentlemen,
This file is from SA showing in slow motion an M1 Rifle firing a test grenade. It's post for those who miss it.





A word to the WISE for CONGRESS:
"You cannot invade America. There is a rifle behind every blade of grass." Admiral Yamamoto

A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to read this data. I hope you have learned a little of the history of the M1 Garand.

ps Could use some hits. I hope to have both sites update in soon. Have fun hope you enjoy and learn.

I hate to admit it but I have never known how those things work.

What is it? Some kind of blank round adapter that uses the energy from the blank to hit a striker to fire the grenade or ???

 

[Plink]

TexasRifleman, the pressure from the blank itself launches the grenade.

Ahh OK. So there is no propellant at all then, so it's not an "RPG" of any kind? Thanks. Always wondered.
