Nothing more than a few blurbs here and there, and you'll find some on the Rifle Grenades pages, particularly in the Russian, Polish, and Chinese entries.

In the T2K v2.2 timeline, the standard rifle grenades of Russia and the Warsaw Pact would in fact be these old relics. A few units might have BTU grenades that were reverse engineered or copied from blueprints, but not many.

Interesting fact: The US reverse-engineered the RKG-3M in the 1960s and added some improvements to the warhead and fuze. It was called a HAAG (Hand Anti-Armor Grenade). It got to the field testing phase, but the troops and their commanders didn't fancy getting close enough to a tank to actually use the HAAG.
