Rifle Grenades

The Northover Projector and Ampulenjot 1941 System Kartukov, being crude desperation weapons, would both fit well into T2K.

True!

I just wouldn't want to be part of the gun crew!

Only because we know just how dodgy they are as weapons.

Absolutely. They'd slot right into our threads discussing the use of black powder weapons in T2K. I wonder where in the Twilight world you'd be able to find schematics for either weapon? Not that they couldn't be reinvented from scratch but tried-and-true is generally a better option than make-it-up-as-you-go-along.

Without the internet (which we've all grown to rely on VERY heavily) we'd be stuck with whatever's available in the local library (very little of military use) or reinventing the wheel....
Some may be lucky enough to have a book or two from larger libraries, private collections, or looted from stores, but they're likely to be few and far between.

Andy,

BT grenades would be relatively easy to manufacture, probably as easy as hand grenades. Perhaps less as they just need an impact fuse, not a timed fuse.

For these particular rifle grenades (Bullet Trap or Bullet Through) there is no propellant, rocket motor or special Ballistite cartridges needed, an ordinary bullet will do. Practice is a lot easier than other grenade launchers because all that is expended is a bullet as BT grenades are recoverable.

The Yugoslavs (including the Serbs) use them extensively, and it wouldn't be difficult to copy them. However, doing some reading, I can't see references to the Kalashnikov-series rifles having grenade adapters built in, so that might have to be a latter modification.
