K. 3IEL( '1ILT In September 1945 it became clear that the quantity of technical information and mateirial which had already arrived in th is e .untry from Germany was very large and was increasing in bulk at such a rate that i might be difficult to assimilate before a great cteal cf the subject- matter became stale. Moreover, where further investigation or corroboration was required, it might be unobtainable because #f t he dispersal of the British and German technicians concerned. It was also clear that, to make, full us- cf the material, the available technical information would have tc be extracted, "lassitict. and sifted, by personnel who wore experienced in the actual practice 1 the type cf work being considered. For these reasons, in spite ox the fa~t that there was a lot non detail to come and many loose unde, it >/, ..a decidea in the Ainmuniticr Group of the Armaments Design Department to f . rm a team cf Design O ff! and Draughtsmen to exploit vital had bee;' fcunc cut about Gorman Gun Ammunition, P rojectiles.

In this report, grenades are classified according to their means of projection. For convenience, the types of grenade described in Parts 1 - 5 ore -presented in the following orders- High Explosive dnti Tank Smoke Pyrotechni c Miscellaneous Part 6 , dealing with the Panzerfaust type of weapon which had a predominantly anti-tank role, is d e v e lo p e d in historical sequence. P-nff I -___GTJi;iM.. lY ( 1 ) General In the early part of the 7/ar, design development was organised to meet tactical requi rome.nis, but from 19UU- onwards these he came subordinate to supply unu transport problems. In general, there searned to be a lack of General direction of grenade design and lit t le liaison between designers. This, together with the supply problem, probably accounts for the very large numbers of stores which hav^ been produced, few of which can be classified as standard fie ld equipments. r~ Yt single problem was frequently given to different firms for solution, and this leu to considerable variation in similar types of stores. a. remarkable feature was the short time interval between the stating of a requirement a no. the issue of the store to field formations, alterations to the ciesigj. were not, however, un­ common after trials ha a been o arrieo. rut in battle. _9_ (2) Anti-Personnel Grenades (a ) Hand. Grenades, Lethality Most grenades had thin bodies and their effect depended on blast. As the need for increased lethality became obvious, fragmentation sleeves,both plain and segmented, were introduced. These were alleged to give a radius of lethality of 100 metres, but the German criterion of lethality is not lcnown. There has been lit tle evidence of over-fragmentation. Materials According to availability and the manufacturer, the following materials have been used for explosive containers Mild Steel Tinned Plate Plastic Materials Light Alloys Nipolit. Ini tiation The general form of initiation was by means of a pull friction igniter and a detonator for the main filling. Later, pellets wore introduced, as supply d ifficu lties enforced the dilution of the usual TNT fillin g . (b) R ifle Grenades Method of projection ^ rifleu cup discharger was preferred. The grenades wore pro-rifled, and in flight were spin stabilised. Great difficulty was experienced in obtaining stability at high angles of production. Materials ..gain according to availability, plastics, steel and light alloys were used. Local shortages of materials loo. to the improvised use of wood and sometimes concrete. Development Design action was directou to improving lethality and performance. German r ifle grenades ranged further than- the British, but they carried a smaller "pay load". Great attention was paiu to eartriage design to increase the effective range 01 -idle and pistol grenades. Many accidents were caused by troops using non-intorchangeable stores. '.n connection with this, the following translation . ram a German instruction to users is worth noting:- (1) Each typo of rifle grenaue is to be propelled only by the appropriate blank cartridge. Other types of bulletted blank w ill not be used, as this may lead to prematures on discharge. (Riflo Grenades are packed singly in cartons, and the appropriate blank cartridge is attached by a paper strip).

  • Twilight 2000
    TWILIGHT 2000 Twilight 2000 is a Role playing game set in a fictional future, one where World war 3 began in the late 1990's and eventually slipped into a nuclear exchange changing society as we know it. The players assume the roles of survivors trying to live through the aftermath of the war. Twilight 2000 was published in the mid 1980's by Game Designers Workshop who unfortunately closed their doors in the early 1990's. The copyright was purchased by Tantalus, Inc but there are no stated plans to revive the game. Despite the lack of any new material from a publisher the game continues to expand through the players on websites such as this. This is my contribution to the game, this site will be in a constant state of change, I plan to add material as I get it finished. This will include new equipment, optional rules, alternate game backgrounds and other material as it accumulates, currently I am working on source material for a World war 2 background, but I also have been completing some optional rules of my own as well as modern equipment.
