The grenade is designed to be fired at a constant angle of elevation, namely 45°, except as noted below for ranges under 50 yards.

The range attained is dependent upon the length of the stem inserted in the bore of the rifle. Tests have shown that within considerable limits the range is but little affected by small changes in the angle of elevation, near 45°, while a change in the length of inserted stem gives an appreciable change in the range.
