Splitterring

German stick grenades had only a thin steel casing surrounding the explosive charge, which relied principally on blast for effect; the addition of a Splitterring gave it greatly increased anti-personnel fragmentation ability.

A Splitterring was also developed for the never issued Panzerfaust 150 anti-tank weapon late in World War II.

Combined with a time delay detonation of the Panzerfaust 150's projectile, it enabled the weapon to achieve air bursts above troops' positions.

The Splitterring was a simple cylindrical steel sleeve, with either a smooth or serrated surface, clipped in place over the head of a stick grenade with three keepers around the base, and secured with a tension ring.

A similar sleeve was fitted as a standard item to the Soviet RGD-33 Grenade.
