Notes: In the
Warsaw Pact, only Poland, Hungary, and Italy issued rifle grenades to regular
troops. The Dezamet grenades were
the newer type issued to Polish and Hungarian troops.
They are designed to be launched from AK-47 and AKM-type rifles without
modification, and use ballistite cartridges for launching.
There are four types, for different uses.

Polish Rifle Grenades
Notes: These are
older Polish rifle grenades also issued to Hungarian troops.
They are of post-World War 2 vintage, and require both a ballistite
cartridge and an AK-47 or AKM with a special adapter or an AMD-65 to launch
them. There are two types, one for antiarmor work and one for antipersonnel
uses. The F-1/N60 antipersonnel
grenade is little more than a Russian F-1 fragmentation grenade with an adapter
to allow it to be fired.
