Smoke Grenade used in falkland war 1982?

[PanzerGuo]

2022 is the 40th anniversary of Falkland War, so maybe a lot of books will published.
But I so doubt that one of those book will give any info about more detail about the smoke grenade UK force used.

Indeed, I have been searching for a long time to trying to make it clear, but still can not make a safe conclusion.



No.83 MKII?

------------------------------------------------

L64? and No.83 MKIII?



------------------------------------------------

L68?


------------------------------------------------

a post said UK force used L101.

(All the pics above came from internat and the copy right belong to their owner.)


So who can help me, please.

If I could make sure what type smoke grenade is used in 1982, I will finish the 3D print model of the smoke grenade and share with you, since it is diffcult to get the real one.



Thanks for your reply!

Panzer,

I am not sure if this information will help you or not.

I obtained this information from JANES Infantry Weapons 1980-1981. These grenades may have been used in the Falklands the following year and unfortunately our Museum Library does not have an 1982-1983 edition of the book.

This is the best I can do but I will continue to search for you

Best regards, stay safe

Thanks for your kindness!

I will update my model with the size data by the pic you posted. The prototype may had the wrong size and detail.




I oftern laugth at the misattributions of props in war films until when I trying to find some detail by myself.

Thanks again.

With best regards.
