    EY Rifle meaning - Extra Yielding.

    I recently stumbled upon this late war 1945 pamphlet - Jungle Jottings. I noticed at the bottom of one of the pages "An extra yielding (EY) rifle is a rifle that has been strengthened so that a 36 grenade can be fired from a cup discharger fitted to the end of the barrel." I have never heard of an EY rifle being described as Extra Yielding.
