I need the full name of and real life stats for the "Gew Spr Gr 30/1" - effective range, explosive filler type & weight, etc. Web links ESPECIALLY welcome...

TIA!

The Gew Spr Gr 30/1 is a rifle-grenade, not a grenade-launcher.

A WAG on my part, but I'd think that reads

Gewehr SprengGranate 30/1

That would make it a Rifle Grenade. Model 30. Not sure about the /1, but it came in 4 versions. The /1 might be the combination rifle and hand grenade with a self destruct feature.

Size? Not sure except for the 30mm ofcourse. HE size probably equivalent or slightly larger than a hand grenade of similar size.

Thanks guys! I thought it was a separate GL, not a rifle grenade.
