I've been wondering. Did any equivalent system exist during WW1? Seems like it would have been very useful in trench warfare.

The first WW1 rifle grenades just had a rod stuck down the barrel fired by a blank.
That stuffed the rifling, so they changed to the cup discharger

Chalk practice rounds and flares are available, so are rumors that the ATF will confiscate the ammo calling it all HE or some shit.

Ahh, nothing like dropping a 40 mike on a group of unexpecting hadjis. Of course mine was a m203 under barrel attachment. The rigs they gave us to hold them made us look Rambo as fuck. A chest sling Lt. Worf style but loaded with grenades.

>>34218235
Did anti tank rifle grenades exist in WW1?

>>34218157
There is mention of 2" trench mortars being used with leather straps rather than a bipod, turning them into something akin to later Japanese "knee mortars" (which were really grenade launchers).

>>34218235
What is "stuffed by the rifling"?

>>34223656
probably left metal in the grooves of the rifling when fired, therefore fucking it up.

>>34221590

>>34223623
No the knee mortars we're definitely not Grenade launchers.

You put that thing on you thigh and it will break your femur.

They were mortars, small portable mortars

Not exactly, not the same firing method, more akin to grenade launcher in firing. Thus, they are a mix of both

>>34223569
No, because tanks were first used in 1916. The first anti-tank weapons were specialised bullets developed by the Germans which could pierce the thin armour of early tanks. As tanks were developed they found these bullets were no longer effective, so developed anti-tank rifles. There were apparently some instances of German trench mortars being dragged up onto the trench lip and fired by eye at British tanks, but this obviously was inaccurate and dangerous. As far as I know rifle grenades were unsuited for direct fire so nobody thought to use them specifically against tanks.

>>34223569
Only as improvised.
The Germans would make a multiple charge stick grenade by tying extra heads together then throw it onto the top of British tanks where it wouldn't fall off and blow a hole in the armour.

>>34223785
was it counting on the detonation of one to touch off the others or did those crafty fuckers wire the detonators up?

>>34218698
Note: The Pentagram with have differing effects depending on the orientation of the shell when loaded.

>>34223785
The first specific AT grenades werent until early WW2 when the hollow charge came into use.

No.68 AntiTank Grenade for the discharger cup.
The Mk1 used a hemispherical copper cup before it was changed to the more effective cone design.

>>34223788
Sympathetic detonation.
The M24 was only a thin metal case.

>>34223796
>picrelated insides

>>34223773
Drop mortars we're created after manual fire mortars so no, it's just a mortar. The grenade launcher is a totally different thing.

Almost every fireable weapon shares mechanism, that doesn't make it a mix.

Like you wouldn't say an RPG and an electrically fired 20mm are a mix because they both use current to fire? No you would not.

Fuckhuge shell weaker than 20 gauge

> A common 20-gauge 2.75 inch (70mm) shotshell loading of no. 3 buckshot (e.g. Federal F203-3B [7] ) pushes 20 of those no. 3 buckshot pellets to 1200 ft/sec at the muzzle from 18.5 inch barrel length. Compared to the M576 this has the same projectile mass, but exhibits 36.36% higher velocity at the muzzle for 36.36% more momentum at the muzzle, and 85.95% more energy at the muzzle.

If you live in a state that allows the ownership of destructive devices then yes. You just to to pay a 200 dollar tax stamp. Ammo is a problem though. Chalk rounds, flares, and "signaling rounds" are all fine to make, buy, and own without a permit, but if you actually want grenade rounds you'll need to pay a 200 tax stamp for EACH one on top of their original cost.

Do they launch slower? Are they on par?

>>34227258
Is that a grenade launcher or a Bryar pistol?

>>34229830

There are no 37mm grenades. Only smoke, flares, and those rubber riot baton rounds.

40mm is rifled to arm the grenade fuses through rotation. 37mm is smooth bore.
