Original Item: Only One Available. A lovely example of an Infrared Illumination 40mm x 46 Round (Cutaway) as used with the M203, M79, MGL MK1, and HK69A1 grenade launchers. It is marked IR on the top for Infrared.

Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons.

When it comes to designing a training program for military personnel, instructors are faced with several challenges. First, unlike athletes there is no off-season, most units are either preparing for deployment, deployed, or refitting from deployment. Secondly, training facilities vary from location to location and often focus on a single task. These tasks may include muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, field craft or marksmanship. Each of the above contribute to the success of an operation, however there is one area of training that is deficient. This deficiency is visual training; visual ability plays a larger role in achieving optimum performance than most military personnel realize. The goal of integrating visual training into an already packed curriculum is not to dilute it but to improve tactical performance.

To help users better understand the equipment they are using, examples like this cutaway were made. These were intended to give the users a look at the internal structure of the explosives, showing the different layers as well as where they connect or thread into each other.

This cartridge is an infrared round meant to illuminate the target area in infrared. The top of the round has two glass vials, one of which has broken as shown. The round is marked on the side:

40mm x 46

A very interesting cutaway for a scarce Infrared 40mm round, ready for further research and display.
