Original U.S. Vietnam War Era Inert M7A3 Riot CS Grenade With M201A1 Fuze and Grenade Launcher Adapter

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely, unused example of an M7A3 Riot CS grenade. Although it is unused, all contents were removed and the fuse was rendered inert. This example comes mounted to a grenade launcher adapter. All markings are visible and the original paint is retained nicely, making this a wonderful offering!

The smoke grenade is totally inert and is unable to be used as a destructive device. The grenade is in complete compliance per the current BATF standards governing ordnance and is not available for export.

The M7A3 CS gas grenade is a cylindrical riot-control grenade filled with CS tear gas. Exposure causes a burning sensation and tearing of the eyes to the extent that the subject cannot keep their eyes open, and a burning irritation of the nose, mouth and throat mucous membranes causing profuse coughing, mucous nasal discharge, disorientation, and difficulty breathing, partially incapacitating the subject.

This example is in wonderful condition and retains very much of the original gray paint and red stenciling. Both the grenade canister and the fuse retain full markings and are as follows:

Canister:

M7A3
RIOT
CS
FD… -15

Fuse:

FUZE M201A1
2013-62-1008

The adapter has no markings. There is also a spring-loaded piece in the middle of the grenade. A wonderful example that comes ready for display.
