M75 hand grenade

The M75 grenade (English:Kashikara, Serbian Latin:Kašikara, Serbian Cyrillic:Кашикара) is a Yugoslav infantry-used hand grenade. It is efficient in trenches, forests, bunkers etc. Its construction allows it to be detonated in snow, mud and water. The M75 grenade consists of a body, an explosive charge and a fuse. The body is made of the core, and a wrapper made out of plastic. The core is full of 3000 steel balls. Their diameter is 2.5–3 mm. The effective killing radius of the grenade is 12–18 m, and the effective casualty radius is 30–54 m. The explosive charge is 36–38 grams of plastic explosive. The delay element, named "Bušon" in Serbian, has a delay time of 3 to 4.4 seconds. Its name probably comes from the Serbian word for a spoon, "Kašika". In English, the lever of the grenade is colloquially known as the "Spoon". The M-75 hand grenade was also produced in Macedonia, where it is designated M-93.
