Description
Original Item: Very Few Available. These are genuine Bz24, (Brennzünder 24 (B.Z.24), friction igniter, pull type designed for use in the German WWII Model 24 stick grenade. These are perfect for replacing or upgrading any original or even our reproduction M24 stick grenade.
Brennzünder 24 can be loosely translated as “Burning fuse, Model 1924”. It is a waterproof metal detonator with a fixed burning time of 4.5 seconds.
The igniter consists of a lead tube connected to a threaded alloy metal fitting by a steel tube (covered in red or black lacquer in the picture above). The steel tube is threaded on both ends and contains the powder delay pellet. The lead sheath contains a copper capsule which holds the friction composition. A friction wire is coiled to provide resistance to pulling and is joined to the pull loop. The pull loop extends through the lead tube, which is flattened or pressed together at the upper end, thus preventing the loop and friction wire from being freely and inadvertently withdrawn. When the loop is pulled, it frees itself from the soft lead tube, drawing the friction wire through the friction composition contained in the capsule. The resulting flame ignites the delay pellet. When the delay pellet burns through, it ignites a fuse or a detonator attached to the fitting. The pellet used with the stick grenade had a delay of 4,5 seconds,…
