Also known as
  • SHG 60
  • SHG 60 DNW
  • SHG 60 DNW Def
  • SHG 60 DNW Defensiva

La SHG-60 es una granada de mano defensiva de fragmentación austriaca asociada con el marcaje DNW/Dynamit Nobel Wien, con cuerpo de plástico de dos piezas, cuatro resaltes escalonados y unos 4.000 fragmentos de bolas de acero alrededor de una carga de PETN plastificado. La literatura de identificación registra su espoleta y efectos, mientras que informes posteriores de IPIS sitúan granadas SHG-60 entre el material de facciones de Boko Haram en la cuenca del lago Chad.

Identification Notes

El registro de la SHG-60 se apoya en dos líneas compactas de evidencia: una guía de identificación de 1994 para las características físicas y un informe de 2021 sobre material en la cuenca del lago Chad para el contexto de conflicto.

Cuerpo de fragmentación

La guía describe un cuerpo de plástico de dos piezas con cuatro resaltes escalonados y unas 4.000 bolas de acero incrustadas de 2,5 mm.

Espoleta y carga

La misma guía enumera una carga de PETN plastificado, una espoleta de liberación por percutor y un retardo de espoleta de 4 a 5 segundos.

Precaución de designación

DIA enumera SHG 60 por separado de SHG; un espejo en español de identificación de explosivos usa la etiqueta SHG 60 DNW Defensiva para datos que se parecen a la entrada SHG separada de DIA, por lo que este registro mantiene como primarias las especificaciones explícitas de SHG 60.

Entrada austriaca cercana

La guía enumera la SHG 60 por separado de otras granadas defensivas austriacas, incluida la granada de mano SplHGR-80, que tiene su propio registro de catálogo.

Type 86P hand grenade, All-plastic defensive fragmentation hand grenade, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsType 86P hand grenadeAll-plastic defensive fragmentation hand grenadeThe Type 86P, also described in Chinese as the 86式全塑无柄手榴弹, is a Chinese all-plastic fragmentation hand grenade standardized in 1986 with an ovoid body, striker-release delay fuze, and about 1,600 embedded steel balls. Technical references disagree on the explosive fill, while conflict reporting documents the type in Iraq weapons caches, Boko Haram-captured materiel in northeast Nigeria, and opposition-area Syrian arms-market listings.

Arsenal describes it as an improved, pre-fragmented anti-personnel round with more than 1,250 fragments and AF76 or AF72 point-detonating fuzes, while conflict reporting places it with Boko Haram factions in the Lake Chad basin, Islamic State forces in north-east Syria, and Ukrainian forces around Bakhmut.

Its catalog significance is twofold: it was a Yugoslav People's Army precision rifle with distinctive 8 mm ammunition and optic arrangements, and it later appears in Lake Chad Basin reporting as a Serbian-origin sniper rifle associated with Boko Haram factions.
Mortar launcher, 60mm, 60 mm light mortar launcher, ArtilleryArtilleryMortar launcher, 60mm60 mm light mortar launcherA 60 mm mortar launcher is a light infantry indirect-fire system built around a smoothbore, muzzle-loaded tube that can be used in conventional bipod-and-baseplate form or, on some modern systems, in reduced handheld or commando configurations. In the 2009 Boko Haram Insurgency, Nigerian reporting has documented 60 mm mortar tubes recovered from ISWAP fighters around Marte, Gajiram, Mandara Mountain, and the Timbuktu Triangle, while Conflict Armament Research has separately documented mortar materiel and captured 60 mm rounds among JAS/Boko Haram and ISWAP-linked seizures around Lake Chad. The recovered launcher models are not publicly identified, so this entry treats the item as a caliber-class system rather than a specific national model.
