History & Usage*
The difference between model M/39B and M/39C is that in addition to the string in M/39C being replaced by an articulated iron pull wire, it is that at the top of the practice hand grenade sleeve M/39C is a pin riveted. The pin has the function of holding the practice blast cartridge in place as no blast cartridge position is present in the practice hand grenade.

Nation & Type
Type (category) description
Practice hand grenades provide a low cost and realistic option for instructing soldiers in the proper and safe handling of hand grenades. They often use production parts and inert fill to match tactical grenades with the correct weight and balance. Practice hand grenades have a training fuze with equal time delay, like the tactical hand grenades, with a small pyrotechnical charge to produce a sound signal when thrown or detonate. They are reusable multiple times by replacing the training fuze assembly and are safe for use on size restricted training ranges.
