Description

This fuze is a combination mechanical time and superquick fuze with settings for time action (2 to 75 seconds) and an impact element for superquick action. The time action of this fuze is based on a clockwork principle. A safety disk prevents functioning of the fuze at less than 1.5 seconds of flight.

Fuze M500, an earlier model of this fuze, differs in the time setting (3 to 75 seconds) and in the minimum setting (3 seconds).
