Service Test of Grenade, Hand, Practice, XM69

Abstract

A Service Test of the XM69 Practice Hand Grenade (XM69) (with XM228 fuze) was conducted. The purpose of the test was to determine, under actual or simulated field conditions, the suitability of the XM69 and its associated reusable spare parts for use as a training item by the US Army. Specific test phases to which the XM69 was subjected were physical characteristics, safety, functional suitability, reliability, durability, maintainability, human factors, and value analysis. The performance of the XM69 was compared to the M67 fragmentation hand grenade and the M62 practice hand grenade in applicable subtests.
