The grenade pouch was similar in design to the mess tin carrier, but considerably smaller in size. Capacity was supposed to be two M26 or M67 (C13) fragmentation grenades but the fit could be so tight that soldiers said that you could only fit one and one-half HCC1 smoke grenades into it. Four V40 "Mini Frag" grenades fit in the pouch quite nicely. Soldiers often used the pouch to carry the cleaning kit for the SMG. A velcro loop on the bottom of the grenade pouch was intended to carry the grenade launcher adapter for the FN C1 rifle.
