SIMON breach grenade

Friday, August 28, 2009


The system consists of a bullet-trap tail section which slides over the muzzle of the rifle, an explosive mid-section and a front standoff rod. The grenade is propelled by a normal ball or tracer round to a maximum range of 30 meters and is detonated by the impact of the standoff rod against the door to be breached, the standoff distance allowing the blast wave to affect as much of the door surface as possible, negating any need to aim for hinges or locks.
