Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have another lovely example of a Warsaw Pact era grenade, the Bulgarian RGO-78 Defensive Hand Grenade. The RGO-78 is a defensive hand grenade of Soviet origin. Externally it looks very similar to the RGD-5, on which the design was based. The grenade is in fantastic condition and still retains all appropriate paint and markings, a rarity with these. The grenade is “complete” with only the explosives and shrapnel missing.
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. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.
The RGO-78 is a dedicated defensive version of the RGD-5. It contained less explosive and has a much thicker pre-fragmented steel body. The steel body contained about 850 steel balls. The RGO-78 had a casualty radius of about 20 meters. The RGO-78 was adopted by Soviet forces. It was also exported to other nations, mostly in the Warsaw Pact and other nations with ties with the USSR.
A great example ready for further research and display.
