Don't see any fins. Did these just tumble through the air after being fired?
maturecpl@reddit
They did tumble, but were accurate out to 350 yards. They had a max range close to 600 yards

To be fair you don’t need good accuracy if you have a big enough warhead
InitialLandscape@reddit
The Soviet approach! But in all seriousness, they do seem to have an impact and timed fuse. So they needed to land somewhat on their noses I'd think?
Or does the tail tube make for a rudimentary stabilizer, like the wooden stick on a skyrocket?
AlpacaPacker007@reddit
I would think so. Lot harder to tumble with that stick hanging off the back

Someone with access to a welder and some gunpowder needs to test this lol
JMHSrowing@reddit
To be clear, the stem/spigot is 2 inches. The warhead is much larger
Natural_Youth_5941@reddit
I was going to ask..

Taking cover in there during a push and having a grenade land at your feet would lead to a very unwelcome surprise.
InitialLandscape@reddit
At least it'll be quick 😬
