Description
This rocket is designed not only as a screening agent, but also to cause casualties. White phosphorus in smoke form has little effect upon the human body, but particles cause small burns. This rocket makes an effective weapon for dislodging enemy troops from foxholes and dugouts.
The 2.36 inch Smoke Rocket M10 is fired from the Launcher M1A1 or M9, the "bazooka". The M10 rocket has the standard tail assembly for the M6A1 or M6A3 motors.
The rocket motor is painted olive drab and the head is blue grey.
