Описание к видео Mussolini's Meatball: WWII Italian Model 35 "Red Devil" Grenade SRCM 35.

Today we're looking at an Italian SRCM 35 grenade from WWII. These grenades were designed as an offensive grenade, to be thrown by soldiers on the attack. They are made of light aluminum, with an internal fragmentation coil added. They were painted a bright red, and were designed to explode on impact after being armed, not being provided with a fuze delay. Many did not explode, but would later explode if disturbed later, thus earning them the name "Red Devil" by British Troops in North Africa. Even so, this grenade and other similar variants served the Italian military until the 1980s.
