Description

The 75 millimeter chemical round, Mk II, had a blunt nose, the radius of which was 1.5 calibers. The portion of the projectile to the rear of the rotating band was either cylindrical or hemispherical in shape. This shell did not contain a base cover. The threads in the nose for the adapter and booster were tapered or pipe threads. The adapter and booster were tightly screwed into place to reduce the likelihood of leakage.
