Discussion
Does anyone know which hand grenades are used by the French Army in current-day? -- Crackshot (talk), 19:19, 1 March 2013 (EST)
- I'm not really sure, but this website may be of help: http://www.lexpev.nl/grenades/europe/france/index.html
- If I'm reading it right, it's either the LU 213, LU 216 or X F1. Or maybe a combination of those.Jimmoy (talk) 10:14, 1 March 2013 (EST)
- And according to this: http://www.pmulcahy.com/hand_grenades/french_hg.htm, all the grenades on that list are in service in some fashion, either with the French military, or former colonies (assuming that source is accurate). Jimmoy (talk) 10:23, 1 March 2013 (EST)
- Also, I'm pretty sure that the R.S.C. 1917 and (possibly) 1918 don't belong in the Experimental section, as they were actually used. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 21:54, 17 November 2016 (EST)
