Main Charge
The O-881A projected grenade utilizes the Russian/North Korean 82mm mortar O-881 as its main charge but should not be confused as a mortar (not fired via a mortar tube) or projectile (no driving band). When sufficient pressure builds up in the chamber of the weapon, the fiber disk is blown from the rear of the cartridge and the grenade is propelled into flight.
On impact, fuze functioning detonates the main charge.
Igniter Cartridge
Upon firing, a flame from the percussion igniter cartridge passes through perforations in the propellant boom, initiating the propellant.
Note
The O-881A projected grenade should not be confused as a mortar (it is not fired via a mortar tube) or a projectile (it has no driving band).
