Section 7:
FLAME THROWERS AND GRENADE RANGES
7.1
Flame Throwers. For design criteria, see Figure 14-2 of MCO
P3570.1A.
7.2
Grenades. Range design criteria for hand grenades, rifle grenades,
grenade launchers, and tank grenade launchers are as &fined in paras. 7.2.1
through 7.2.5.
7.2.1
Burning Type Hand Grenade. When fired in place, at least 10 m

and at least 10 m throwing distance will be provided.
Fragmentation-Type and Bursting-type Hand Grenades. Trench or
7.2.2
protective barrier equivalent to a screen of sandbags 0.5 m (20 in.) thick
will be provided for personnel within 150 m throwing of bursting point of HE-
loaded-type hand grenades. Figure 7-l of MCO P3570.1A shows surfaces danger
zone for designing fragmentation grenade range. Design distances are:
a) At least 100 m between unprotected personnel and bursting point
of white phosphorous burning-type M15 and M34 hand grenades.
b) At least 25 m between unprotected personnel and detonation
point of bursting-type riot control M25 hand-grenade.

barrier equivalent to a screen of sandbags 20 in. (0.5 m ) thick. At least
200 m between detonation point and unprotected personnel will be provided.
Figure 7-3, MCO P3570.1A, shows surface danger zone for designing rifle
grenade range.
7.2.4
Grenade Launchers. At least 300 m will be provided between
unprotected personnel and grenade detonation point. Figure 7-2 of MCO
P3570.1A shows surface danger zone for designing ranges for 40 mm grenade
