Along with the development of evolution going on continuous improvement not only tools, but also weapons.In place of the banal with sticks and stones, so that our ancestors were able to attack and defend, now it's gun and a grenade F1.Characteristics of modern weapons, of course, much higher.Take, for example, a grenade.By definition, this is a type of explosive munition that is designed to incapacitate machinery opposing side or destruction of manpower.
history
use during World War II hand grenades had widespread use.Such explosive ordnance could be divided into fragmentation, lights, smoke, anti-inflammatory and.It should be added during the war for the creation of such grenades were converted tens of thousands of factories and various industries, apart from the fact that a large number of such weapons were only "homemade", which were made in combat partisans.
Classification
All explosive ammunition and a grenade F1 is no exception, are divided on the principle of action and a detonator mechanism:
- Electric.
- Mechanical (tension, breakage, and discharge pressure).
- chemical.
- combined.
electric charge detonation method is carried out thanks to the power source, thus undermining carried out directly by closing the contact.This can be done manually or by a demolition charge masked, such as TV, it is activated at a time when the victim plug into the socket.
mechanical method speaks for itself, it requires only the power of the human or physical impact.At the moment it is the most common method, along with electric.
chemical principle is based on the effect of certain substances or most acids.
Classification of ammunition at their destination
All explosive devices can be divided according to the method of their impact on the target.At the moment, thanks to some modifications and improvements grenade F1 can be used for any of them.A significant role was played by the guerrillas and modern fighting on the territory of the CIS and the Middle East.
- Bookmark: this method is due to preset explosive device.As for grenades, the most popular is the "stretching", which is based on the physical detonation of the victim.However, it can be both camouflaged and obvious.
- so-called "postal", which can be disguised as an ordinary box of ammunition and detonate during its opening.
variety of garnet
- Manual - is done by throwing hand.
- Anti-personnel - to engage manpower.
- fragmentation - the defeat is the result of fragments from a grenade.
- Defensive - scattering debris exceeds the possible range of the cast, which is why there is need for an attack from the shelter.
- Remote actions - the detonation takes place after a certain time after the throw.Training Grenade F1 provides 3.2 and 4.2 seconds.Other explosives may have a different time of detonation.
grenade F1: characteristics, the damage radius
Of the variety of defensive weapons want to highlight the following.One of the best anti-personnel explosive devices manual is considered to be a grenade F1.Specifications and the design was so good that she was able to survive without any improvements in a lot of time.The only thing that is modified - a system fuse, and its design.
This kind of explosive device designed to keep a defensive position and affects mainly manpower.This is due to the rather large radius of scattering its fragments.For the same reason, it is necessary to throw out of hiding (tanks, armored vehicles, and so on. D.) To avoid harming yourself.
grenade F1 has the following specifications:
- number of fragments after the explosion reaches 300 pieces.
- Weight - 600
- type of explosive substance - TNT.
- throw an average of 37 m.
- safe distance - 200 m.
- radius splinter is 5 m.
History F1
all started back in 1922, when the Office of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army decidedconduct an audit of artillery depots.According to reports at the time, they were armed with 17 different types of grenades.At the same time among the large selection of styles fragmentation defensive explosive devices of its own production at the time was not.It is because of this armed with grenades systems Mills stood as an exception and allowed the use of the French version of the bomb an F-1.And based on the fact that French ardor was extremely fragile, a large number is not driven, and even more so, exploded right in his hands.The same committee of 1925 has created a report which said that the need for such explosive devices army is satisfied with just 0.5%.In the same year Artkom decided to perform testing of all specimens that were available at that time.On the basis of this sample was chosen pomegranate, 1914, which were modified under the improved analogue of a fragmentation of Mills.
Thus, Swiss fuses replaced by domestic - Koveshnikova, and already in 1925, in September, the first tests were conducted, in which the main criterion was shrapnel damage.The commission's conclusions approved by the Committee.So there was a grenade F1 specifications that surpass the French equivalent, and meet the needs of the Red Army.
Instructions for Use
To Grenade F1 was ready for action, it is necessary to find the antennae, which are located at the safety check and straighten them.The bomb is taken in the right hand, the fingers should firmly and steadily push the lever to the right to housing.Before you perform a throw, the index finger of the second hand is necessary to pull the ring checks.You can then keep the grenade for a long time, until such time as the lever is released and the impact the striker will not result in the activation of the fuse.If the need for action grenade disappears, the pin can be inserted back, and after the antennae will be returned to its original position, it can be stored safely.
considered the dummy grenade F1, can be fully familiar with its structure and due to the weight that is identical to the combat version, you can test it for distance throwing.In the case of military actions or conditions close to them, it is necessary first of all to determine the purpose and choose the right moment to perform a throw.When the grenade is on its way to its target, the lever will produce pressure on the firing pin, which in turn, presses on the cap, due to which after some time the explosion takes place.
Among the damaging factors can be noted not only the explosive action, but also pieces that are formed as a result of rupture grenades.This is due to the frequent use of F1 and when "Stretch."So, if a person can survive an explosion in the high-explosive shock wave, the fragments will not leave anyone a chance in a radius of 5 meters.
Additionally, it is worth noting a rather cunning and effective combination that consists of 2 grenades, by which created and protivosaperny effect.Thus, in case of detection of an inexperienced sapper, who then cuts the rope taut, thereby simultaneously detonate the fuse 2.There are improvements that allow you to instantly operate grenades with the installation of the mine fuse instant activation.
For safety
To avoid any embarrassing situations happen, you need to be very careful about safety precautions.Before laying make grenades, you need to perform their inspection and pay attention fuse of.In case there should be found deep rust and strong dents.Fuse and tube should not have traces of corrosion, a check must be whole, the ends are separated and bends without cracking.If the heat found in the raid green, then in any case it is impossible to use such a grenade.When transporting the ammunition necessary to protect them from impact, moisture, heat and dirt.If the grenade had been stained, you can not dry them by the fire.
necessary to conduct systematic inspections.It is strictly forbidden:
- Touch dud.
- disassemble grenade.
- attempt to remove the fault.
- Wrap granatÑ– without bags.
Analogs For
was based on the French model of fragmentation and English, so there was a grenade F1.The characteristics of this symbiosis were unique compared to similar domestic explosive devices.This model is known for his nickname "grenade."In turn, the copies of the grenade can be considered a model of Chile (Mk2), China (type 1), Taiwan and Poland (F-1).
Soviet version was widely used around the world in the most famous and extensive military conflicts.
uniqueness grenade F1
Actually, the fact that this kind of ammunition for a long time did not need to be modified, says a lot, in particular that one of the best developments of the time is considered to be a grenade F1.Features of this device is so good, and the production is that by the beginning of 1980 in the warehouses was a huge stock of these supplies, which were all in working order.At the moment they are if not the most perfect type, the time-tested.
Maybe after some time there will be new, completely unique species that are completely devoid of any faults of old munitions and confidently take their place, but at the moment one of the best F1 is pomegranate.Features (Comment specialist confirm this) new types of explosive devices have an advantage, but to call them the best replacement of older types of grenades, it is not yet possible.
