The U.S. Army has introduced the M111 offensive hand grenade, marking a significant upgrade in its arsenal for urban combat. This new grenade, developed by Picatinny Arsenal and the Combat Capabilities Development Command, is the first hand grenade adopted since the Mk3A2 in 1968.

It has a cylindrical plastic body and a similar fuse mechanism to the older M67 grenade, enhancing logistical efficiency and training for soldiers. The M111 is designed to generate significant blast overpressure, increasing its lethality in urban settings. It features a green exterior to distinguish it from the practice version, M112, which is blue.
