35 mm grenade

The Type 87 has a typical grenade design with the propellant stored in the base, the warhead in the middle and the fuse in the nose section.

Type 11 long range cartridges are derived from the DFJ-87 HEDP grenades, but the weights are reduced from 217 to 200 g (7.7 to 7.1 oz) due to lighter casings.

This modification greatly increases the recoil, which QLU-11 features advanced primer ignition (API) blowback to mitigate.

The cartridge has a conventional design for breech loading similar to NATO 40 mm low velocity grenades.

[10] Type 10 grenades utilize high-low cartridges designed for low recoil operation with extended range.
