The M-DN-11 grenade was designed
by Diehl of Germany to replace DM-51
grenades employed by German forces. It
produced only limited sales to Germany,
but was adopted by some Middle Eastern
countries and African nations, as well
has being used on a limited basis by
German GSG-9 and KSK forces. The plastic casing of the
grenade is thick and shock resistant, yet
produces a large amount of fragments, and
is ribbed to give a better grip. The
M-DN-11 has a number of safety mechanisms
to prevent accidental explosion, from
conventional pull ring and spoon
safeties, to a detonator that is
physically separated from the explosive
until the spoon is clear of the grenade
and a flap safety that ensures that the
grenade will not explode for 2.5 seconds
even if the cap is struck or the delay
mechanism malfunctions. Color/markings:
Black, with white or yellow markings
Payload:
43 grams, plasticized (PETN)
