Abstract
A grenade launched from a firearm has a tubular extension at its base with a device to prevent damage to the grenade by the shot normally fired by the weapon and which is used to launch the grenade. This tube has a mass to act as a shock absorber, combined with two rings, one fitting inside the other, their contacting surfaces being sloping. On impact, their shape ensures that the outside ring expands and inside ring contracts to give the required blocking effect. In an alternative design, one of the rings is replaced by a rigid member which fits inside the other ring.
