Description

This fuze is of the arming vane type with mechanical delay. It resembles in outward appearance and size, the M100 Bomb Fuze having the same reduction gear train as the M100. It has, however, the cocked firing pin assembly of the M112 Bomb Fuze. It is a combination, therefore, of two fuzes previously discussed. The primer detonator it has incorporated in it, however, is the M27 Nondelay Primer Detonator which functions immediately on impact. It is used to function the M4 Destructor detonating device. On impact, the detonator in the fuze fires the detonator cord which detonates the explosive block of 2.5 pounds of tetrytol.
