NotesThe F-1 (Fugasnyy Ruchnaya Granata) was based on the French Fusante No1 and was first issued to the troops in 1941. It was a standard fragmentation grenade and was kept in production right through the war and beyond. The RGD-33 (Ruchnaya Granata Degtyareva) was an earlier weapon and was a stick fragmentation grenade designed by Degtyarev. It was issued with an optional metal sleeve which fitted over the head of the grenade to give more fragmentation.
