Which grenade is the high-explosive grenade?

• A. M67
• B. M69
• C. M26
• D. M84

Answer: (A)

This question tests your ability to distinguish between grenade types by purpose and filler. The high-explosive fragmentation grenade is the one currently used as the standard issue by the armed forces for anti-personnel use. The M67 fits this role: it’s the modern U.S. military standard fragmentation grenade, designed with an explosive fill and a steel body that shatters on detonation to project fragments over a wide area.

The other grenades serve different purposes. The M69 is a training grenade with inert filler and an orange body, used for practice throws. The M26 is an older pineapple-style fragmentation grenade that also uses high explosives but has largely been superseded by the M67 in front-line service. The M84 is a flash-bang/stun type device, not a fragmentation grenade.
