GRENADES IN THE KHTALIR'S ARMORY

There are 20 bandoliers (10 HE & 10 HEAP) w/ 3 grenades per bandolier.

All the grenades already in the armory are convertable to either RAM rifle or hand thrown. There is 20th Century precedent.

As shown in Brassey's Infantry Weapons of the World, the French MDF polyvalent hand and rifle grenade consists of four pieces:

• explosive core and detonator
• safety cap for the detonator
• fragmentation sleeve for the explosive core
• bullet trap/tail assembly.

If the core is used alone, it is a hand-thrown, offensive concussion grenade. With the fragmentation sleeve added, it becomes a defensive, fragmentation grenade. With the bullet trap/tail assembly added to either of those, it becomes a rifle grenade of the same type. If you simply replace the bullet trap with an impact activated rocket assembly, you have a high TL multi-purpose RAM grenade. BTW, the MDF fuse has three settings: "Delay only", "Impact only", and "Impact and Delay". The RAM grenades have the same 3 settings.
