What is the safety for a rifle grenade used in riot control with BD?

• A. He, Frag, Move, Fire
• B. He, Frag, Move, Fire, Chem, C/S, 1hrwt
• C. He, Frag, Move, Fire, Chem
• D. He, Frag, Move, Eject

Answer: (C)

The safety labeling for a riot-control rifle grenade with a bursting device must acknowledge multiple hazards it can present: the high-explosive charge (HE), the fragmentation produced when it detonates (Frag), the need to move away from the target area to a safe location (Move), and the chemical payload risk (Chem). Handling and deploying such a munition requires recognizing that it is not just a blast threat but also a fragmentation and potentially chemical exposure threat. Including all of these elements ensures you’re prepared for the full range of hazards and the correct protective actions.

So, the best choice lists He, Frag, Move, Fire, and Chem. It covers the explosive, fragmentation, the operational safety step of relocating personnel, the act of firing, and the chemical danger. The other options omit the chemical hazard or add elements (like C/S or 1hrwt) that aren’t part of the standard safety labeling for this configuration, making them less complete or not applicable.
