What is the safety for a rifle grenade used in riot control with a bursting device (BD)?

• A. He, Frag, Move, Fire
• B. He, Frag, Move, Fire, Chem, C/S, 1hrwt
• C. He, Frag, Move, Fire, Chem
• D. He, Frag, Move, Eject

Answer: (C)

This question tests recognizing all hazards you must account for when a rifle grenade with a bursting device is used for riot control. Such a device brings two major risks: an energetic explosive inside the bursting device that can cause fragments, and a chemical riot control agent that is released when it bursts. The safety statement you’d use needs to convey both of these hazards and the operating actions that accompany them: you must treat it as a high‑explosive item with fragmentation potential, you must handle and deploy it with proper movement and distance, you must be able to fire it safely, and you must acknowledge the presence of a chemical irritant. The best answer includes all of these: high explosive (HE), fragmentation (Frag), the need to move safely (Move), the action of firing (Fire), and the chemical hazard (Chem). This communicates that the device is energetic and fragmenting, requires proper handling during movement and firing, and contains a chemical agent requiring appropriate protective measures. Other options omit the chemical hazard or introduce elements not relevant to this device’s safety profile (such as eject or storage-weight notes), which would fail to fully represent the hazards you must manage with riot-control rifle grenades.
