FUNCTION
Before firing, take out the CP-92 from the plastic container and screw it on the Grenade.When the round is fired, the CP-92 gets activated, the pressure of its powder gases creates the required initial velocity of the Grenade, and the Stabilizer ensures its stable flight to the target.Upon impact, the point-detonating fuze AF71 gets activated, which in its turn, actuates the bursting charge of the grenade GHEF-9MA.At the time of the grenade detonation, over than 1000 fragments of weight 1.0...2.0 g fly away, defeating the target.
