The Basic Components of the

FDM

Integrated and Modular System:

1) The FDM (Hollow) Stick 2) The FDM Stick filled with additional “ Compounds ” up to 135 grs. C4 3) The FDM Stick - With/Without additional “Compounds” + the BTH Retaining Hand (for “Ball” type HGs): Retaining Hands available standard in several Styles/Shapes, able to hold any kind of HGs 4) FDM Stick + BTH + Ball Type” HG 5) FDM Assy. as above 4), with the “Ball Type” HG firmly secured in the BTH Retaining Hand In this way the FDM Assy. + HG, ready to be used and launched by hand. _______________________________________________________________ 6), 7) & 8): the FDM L HG -10-32 Launcher < Limbo 1 > : A True Ultra –Light very effective portable Mortar, able to launch a FDM Assy (including or not Additional “Compounds” into the hollow Stick) + HG (any kind of Style/Shape/Producer) with a parabolic shot, up to >120 mt. far from shooting point.

The “Ancestor ” of FDM:<Die Stielhandgrenate Mod 24>

German Hand Grenade Mod. 24 (1st WW); during the 2nd WW, known as Mod. 43 The reason of the wooden stick:  O N L Y to help soldiers to throw as far as possible the hand grenades, Up to 25-:-30 meters by well trained personnel !! ….… NO other reasons !.…

By the way….. to activate the HG: ..unscrew the bottom safety cap and pull cord!

DESCRIPTION / BESCREIBUNG / 簡短說明 (ENGLISH VERSION)

<FDM > PROJECT: The Answers The FDM Device is a very modern device born from the ‘past on the warfield experiences’ (Wooden handled ‘Can type’ old German “Stick Grenades”,<Stielhandgranate> Mod. 24 & 43), but looking towards the future, using the most modern CAD/CAM Technologies, Hi Tech. Plastic Materials, Automatic Molds and Injection Molding Technologies, in order to achieve the maximum of the (mass) productivity, flexibility and quality at lower costs.

FDM stands for: Force & Detonation Multiplier A TRUE HG’s –UP GRADING SYSTEM! Basically only TWO PIECES Device…

-1- Standard ‘Basic’ 10” length x 1-1/4”(32mm) HS 10-32 Hollow STICK, produced by clear or colored HiTech Plastic materials even according to the Customer’s specifications & requirements data.

-2- Standard interchangeable # 4 ‘Fingers’ (or # 3 ‘Fingers’, or # 2 ‘Fingers’ as optional) Retaining HANDS ’ (HG’s Holder)  It can accommodate virtually any kind of HG, Standard /“Off the Shelf” ones, with NO Changes!, firmly secured into the FDM’s interchangeable Standard Retaining Hands, i.e.: the shaped BTH / CTH / LTH /Special / Custom made etc … standard with 4 Retaining ‘Fingers’ but also available with 3 or 2 Retaining ‘Fingers’ (for special shaped HG’s)  As a “Dummy” HS 10-32 Stick: it helps to throw out the HG’s ‘safely and comfortably’ more far from the launching point … as done in the past (1st & 2nd W.W. by German/Austrian Type 24 & 43 grenades), but having the possibility of a full Retaining Hands interchangeability (HG’s Holder Interchangeability), virtually available for all kind standard “Off the Shelf HG’s”, and for custom made ‘special ones’, as well.  As a additional “Charge”: – once the Stick HS 10-32 filled by several kind of Compounds/Additives – it can, several times!, magnify the detonation (blast) effects (Offensive HG), i.e: HG + 2 different additional ‘packs’(see more)

 Absolute moistureproof and 5bar waterproof STICK: high quality NON magnetic HiTech.plastics: Long life of the inside charges, any kind of  HS 10-32 STICK (10” standard model) inner capacity: 78 cm3 = 135gr RDX Right for a additional charge, to be specified/according to the field needs  HS 10-32 Stick, also designed for a ‘comfortable’ and sure “Grip”  Very wide Temp. application range: HS 10-32 and Interchangeable Retaining Hands have a wide range of Temperature resistance: up to + 50°C / – 40°C (According to the Type/Quality of Plastics and Charges)  Using Waterproof HG’s, the FDM’s ass.y may be used for the Harbour Safety as a Depth Charges, that can be thrown by hand and/or from a silenced HG (+FDM) Launcher L HG 10-32 FDM, -under developmenthaving a range up to 100-:-110mt., suitable for Sea and Land purposes  Cheap to be mass produced, easy to be filled by several kind of ‘Additives’, easy to be serviced, to be stored, easy & safe to be used.  The FDM system is a Effectiveness & Efficiency Up-Grading of the ‘in stock’ New and also Old Hand Grenades…..  Up-Grading, also of ‘fresh’, from manufacturing, HG’s ….

Range 100-:-120 mt. with ca.750 gr.HG + FDM Assy.

A true, very effective portable (silenced ! ) ultra light mortar using COMMON HG’s

L HG 10-32 FDM : Hand Grenades Laucher (suitable for all kind of HG’s handled by the FDM System) Under advanced development, the < L HG 10-32 FDM >, is part of the <FDM Integrated System>, to be used on the field in order to keep ‘clean it’ up to 100mt around the “on the field operators”, or i.e: to eliminate snipers on top of buildings, small hills, hostiles behind obstacles etc, having also a <Shrapnel> effect: If useful A ‘overhead blast’ by the HG + Additional HE filled into the HS 10-32 Stick.

Cheap, it could be considered a ultra light very effective and disposable Mortar  Some interesting and relevant features:  Disposable or re-usable, simply changing the air tank  Very light, easy to use and waterproof, 5bar  Max. range: 100-:-120mt, with up to 800gr total weight, HG + HS 10-32 ass.y  To be used with all kind of HG’s, changing the “hopper” to fit the different HG’s  Very silent/quiet because shot actuated by compressed air (nitrogen).  To be used individually on Land Vehicles or Boats/Submarines  Manifactured by Hi Tech Plastic tube: 55mm OD / 500mm OAL, Weight 5,5kg.

Perfectly fits the needs of: Raiders, Marines also operating from Land Vehicles, surfaced/submerged Submarines, Landing/Inflatable boats even because the <L HG 10-32> is 5 bar waterproof; Paratroopers and Special Corps, because very rugged, silent and very effective.

FDM Project Shorter HS 9-32 RT Stick, i.e. with BTH-RT Retaining Hand

Drwg shows the New HS 9 1032 Stick + BTH Retaining and to accomodate “BALL Type” HGs Basically, the same concept and guidelines of the Standard HS 10-32 Stick, (specifically requested from a It. SF) but shorter of 1”ca.; two main differences:  HS 9-32RT Stick is shorter of 25mm ca., ‘RT’ stands for ‘Reverse Thread’: instead to have 2 ‘female’ threads top-bottom (HS 10-32), it has only one thread, top position, and male.

Inside stick, the same conical thread of the HS 10-32 stick, for a conical plug (waterproof closure) to protect the inner ‘additives/compounds’, like the Standard abovesaid HS 10-32 Stick. Same inner capacity of 78 cm3 /up to 135gr RDX Along the HS 9-32RT Stick body, always the 2 ‘O Rings’ grooves for ‘O Rings’ once used with the HGs Launcher < L HG 1032 FDM >.  BTH4-RT Retaining Hand, 4 retaining fingers, for ‘Ball/Spherical’ type HGs Thread is, obviously, a Female one, in order to accommodate the <HS 932RT> Stick Male thread. Available also CTH..RT – LTH..RT and ‘X’TH..RT Retaining Hands with 4 – 3 – 2 Retaining Fingers  Either can be used on the < L HG 10-32 HG > Launcher > same way of the Standard FDM Integrated System, Components
