The STRIM 65 is an anti-tank rifle grenade that the French Army used from 1961 to 1978, under the designation 65 AC 28.
This and the older 73mm Modèle 1950 (similar in appearance to an Energa grenade) were the standard anti-tank munitions in French service.
[1] A 22 mm grenade launching adapter mounted atop the rifle's barrel held the grenade until the firing of a ballistite (blank) cartridge provided the propulsive force to launch the grenade.
[4] The AC58 rifle grenade manufactured by Luchaire replaced the STRIM 65.
The AC58 used a new bullet trap form of propulsion, thereby doing away with the need for a special launching round.
