cerick1450 Posted August 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2022 Hello what is this and what era. thank you Link to comment
Kaptainssurplus Posted August 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2022 M49a1 trip flare, will have the date stamped on it, but VN to current usage. Link to comment
917601 Posted August 21, 2022 Share #4 Posted August 21, 2022 I have a few, dated 1969. Yours should have ink markings unless repainted. Keep in mind these hit the surplus markets years ago, and are live, No biggie, but they burn hot, bright, and loud. The fuze is instantaneous, no delay feature, don’t let the spoon fly unless you are prepared for the effect. Link to comment

Kaptainssurplus Posted August 21, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 21, 2022 Also just FYI, it does not have the safety pull pin in it, very dangerous not having it in place. As 917601 said, it burns hot, at like 5000+ degrees. Link to comment
cerick1450 Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted August 21, 2022 It is empty.. Link to comment
Linedoggie Posted September 21, 2022 Share #8 Posted September 21, 2022 There is absolutely NO delay in this item. I have seen someone try to hand throw it at night and it goes off as soon as you let go of it.. Link to comment
