Safe Grenade Storage in Close Proximity
Armag’s Grenade Storage Magazine is a limited arc magazine for the storage of M67, MK3A and M433 40mm grenades. With a zero quantity distance arc, this magazine can be safely stored near personnel, inhabited buildings, and roadways. Each grenade storage magazine includes specially engineered containers to house the grenades inside the magazine which help to prevent sympathetic detonation.
The magazine is engineered to contain blasts up to 0.50 lbs. net explosive weight. Watch the video to see it in action.
These magazines have been approved for use by the DDESB and can house only the explosives they are approved for. Contact us for a complete list of authorized explosives for these magazines.

Quick and Easy Acquisition
U.S. Military and government agencies can acquire magazines and armories in a fraction of the time and cost by utilizing the Armag Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Armag Corporation is the only recipient of the single award IDIQ (N0017422D0031) through NSWC IH EOD Technology Center.
Reduced Arc (ESQD)
Armag was selected by the US Navy to develop a reduced arc magazine, resulting in the first magazine that can be safely stored near buildings, roadways and other magazines. The ability to safely store ammunition and explosives at nearby locations eliminates time consuming travel to and from an ammo supply point (ASP).
As a part of the limited arc design, explosives are stored in specially designed containers in the magazine which prevent sympathetic detonation. This limits the maximum credible event to only one round which the magazine has proven to withstand, thereby reducing the quantity distance arc.
