Practice bomb MK106 Mod 0 is a thin-cased, cylindrical bomb. It is composed of a bomb body assembly, a practice bomb signal MK4 mod 3, and a modified fuze assembly M173. The bomb is composed of an inner cylinder, and outer cylinder, and a fin assembly. The bomb is designed for low altitude drops. Modified fuze assembly M173, consisting of an adapter and the fuze M173 less booster, is installed in the nose of the bomb. The fuze is fully armed by anemometer vanes after completing 220 feet of air travel. When the bomb impacts with the target, the fuze functions and causes instantaneous detonation of the signal, MK4 Mod 3. Smoke produced from the detonated signal is discharged rearward through an inner cylinder in the bomb body.
