Description

Inert and dummy fuzes are provided for ammunition such as target practice, test, and drill to simulate fuze assembly.

Dummy fuzes are manufactured especially for simulation purposes; and inert fuzes are assembled from burned-out or rejected parts of service fuzes. Consequently, in each case, the substitute fuzes resemble the service fuze for which training is conducted, and have the same dimensional and material characteristics. Generally each inert or dummy fuze is designed for use with a specific dummy cartridge.
