Description

This fuze is of the arming vane type with mechanical delay. In outward appearance and size, it resembles the M102 Bomb Fuze, having the same reduction gear train. It has, however, the cocked firing pin assembly of the M114 Bomb Fuze. It is a combination, therefore, of two fuzes previously discussed. The primer detonator is the M16. It is used on a modified 2,000 pound GP bomb in conjunction with the M121 and M4 Destructor which destroys the control units of the bomb.
