Description
The Model 26 resembles closely the French Model 1952 pressure-friction fuze. The cylindrical case is made of plastic with vertical ribs molded therein to add strength. It has the overall appearance of a truncated cone. It is fired by a striker, which is charged with a friction compound, and which is forced into a mating sleeve. The striker is held in position by a shear collar. The detonator holder screws to the base.
This fuze is used in the Model 26 undetectable antitank mine.
