Description
The 7.2-inch D.R., a modification of the 7.2-inch H.E., was used for demolition of anti-tank obstacles. The 7.2-inch D.R. was projected from a multiple-rail armored launcher mounted on the turret of the Tank M4. It was fired at point-blank range and proved effective against concrete obstacles at ranges of 100 to 150 feet.
The Army designates the Head Mk 10 or Mk 10 Mod 1 as the T37.
A smoke-filled round used by the Army is the same size, and has the designation of T88. It is nose-fuzed with either the Fuze Mk 152 or the Fuze Mk 141.
The Head Mk 5 may take either the Booster Mk 1 or the Booster Mk 2; the Head Mk 10, only the Booster Mk 1. The Heads Mk 5 are loaded with TNT; the Heads Mk 10 may also take a TNT load.
