What are the characteristics of XM-9603 Grenade?

The shape of ERFB-BB Grenade developed by Diner Company is XM-9603. 8.0 kg TNH explosive, though slightly lighter, belongs to the same type as M- 1A4 ERFB-BB bomb, and it has been recently identified and can be used for 45 caliber guns. Compared with the RDX/TNT and RDX/TNT/HNS explosives used in the old M- 1A2 and M- 1A3 bombs, TNH is insensitive to the firing conditions, and the fuse chamber is equipped with a booster to ensure smooth ignition.

In order to improve the safety of the maximum charge, the number of fragments is slightly reduced (

M-9703 V-LAP Grenade has passed the appraisal and can be used in G-6 45 caliber artillery. M-9703 can also be launched with G-652. Judging from the current test results, its accuracy is higher than XM-9603 (when the range of No.5 charge in M-64 charging system is 53 kilometers, the common error is 0.38%). The killing radius of traditional steel fragments is 2 1m (the number of fragments is 5500-6000), but prefabricated fragments are still under development.

ERFB-BB will form a bomb family, including burning smoke bomb (red phosphorus), visible light smoke bomb (white phosphorus), bispectrum smoke bomb (visible light/infrared), color smoke bomb (red/green/blue/yellow), flare bomb and cluster bomb. All kinds of bombs can use the maximum charge, and their ballistic characteristics are the same as XM-9603 grenades.
