The Type 67 or ‘Chicom’ Chinese hand grenade, was the most widely-used grenade amongst North Vietnamese forces specifically, the Việt Cộng where it was known as the Chinese Type II.

HISTORY

Although similar in design to the infamous German Model 24 Stielhandgranate, it was poorly manufactured and resulted in many duds.

Even with a small blast radius of roughly 2 meters, it proved to be a deadly explosive in the hands of the Việt Cộng.

There are numerous different patterns and models of Chinese Stick defensive grenades, which all have the same basic method of functioning.

Some of these grenades may be filled with Picric Acid explosive which can become sensitive with age.

These stick grenades have a hollow handle containing a pull ring and string connected to a safety fuze igniter.
