The M67 was developed at the same time as the M61 (which is an improved version of the M26 grenade). Though developed during the late 1950s, it was not fielded until the late 1960s. Most of the grenades used in Vietnam were of the M26/61 variety prior to 1968. After 1969 the M67 was the foremost issued grenade in the field.
