EM-02 offensive grenade |
This is the concussion variant of the Elviemek grenade family, used in close assaults and other situations where fragment production is not desired. The body is of thinner plastic than the EM-01, and there is no fragmentation lining. The body of the grenade is smooth, but dimpled, so as to provide a good grip but differentiate it from the ridged EM-01.
Weight: 140 gr Diameter : 57mm Length: 91mm Explosive employed: PETN - 37gr |

EM-03 |
This training grenade is in use with the Greek army. It resembles the "live" EM-01, but used with a small replaceable training charge.

EM-04 smoke grenade |
This is the Greeks' standard smoke and signaling grenade. Smoke comes in white, red, blue, yellow, green, violet, and gray. It is similar to other Western smoke grenades, consisting of a metal cylinder with an igniter. The color of the grenade body is the color of the smoke. The smoke does not cause fires and is non-toxic. Gray smoke is dense for 30 full phases; other colors are dense for 28 full phases.
Grey smoke weight: 650gr - other colors: 450gr Diameter : 66mm Length: 290mm Chemical substance employed: hexachlorure HC |
