The OD 82/SE is a hand grenade, currently issued to the Italian Army.
History
In the 1970s and 1980s, it became necessary to replace the SRCM Mod. 35, which dated back to World War II. A first model of the new grenade, the OD/82-HE with its training version OD/82-E-1, was produced by the company "La Precisa S.p.A." Teano.[1]
Adopted by the Army, production was immediately interrupted after many incidents (some fatal) of premature detonation.
The grenade was then modified by the Italian's army "Stabilimento Militare di Munizionamento Terrestre" (S.M.M.T.) of Baiano di Spoleto and was adopted by the armed forces as OD 82/SE.
The acronym OD stands for "Offense/Defense" (Italian: Offesa/Difesa), 82 refers to 1982, the year of production of the first model, the acronym SE stands for "Increased Safety (Italian: Sicurezza Elevata).
Features
The OD 82/SE is a controlled fragmentation hand grenade, of both offensive and defensive type, with an ignition delay.
The safety distance is 21 metres, and the effectiveness at 5 metres is 85%.
The bomb body is khaki with a yellow line. A training model OD 82-E-1 is blue with a brown line.
Adoption
The updating of the old model OD/82 HEs in storage to the new model was interrupted due to the explosion of the arsenal's "riservetta 73", which took place on 10 April 2005, where the old OD/82 that still needed to be updated were stored. [2]
Replacement
The replacement of the OD/82 began in 2013 with the MF-2000, produced at the factory of Stabilimento Militare di Munizionamento Terrestre di Baiano di Spoleto,[3] its activation system is produced by SACIL srl of Pratissolo of Scandiano near Reggio Emlia.[4]
