The U.S. Army's M67 pattern is the clearest modern benchmark: a 2.5-inch steel-sphere grenade used to supplement small-arms fire, still trained on by Marines in 2025 and contrasted by the Army in 2026 with the blast-overpressure M111.

GICHD describes it as a tree-spike-mounted mine without scissor legs, with a 90 m effective arc, two M-10 threaded fuze wells, and a distinctive storage case. Mine-action reporting and disposal footage place the type among Russian-emplaced hazards in Ukraine after the 2022 invasion.
