| Use: |
|---|
| This bomb is authorized for many types of service usage, including catapult and jet-assisted takeoffs and arrested landings. It is used with the Mk6 signal and inert fuze Mk247 Mod 0. The signal is seated in a recess in the tail of the bomb body and is secured to the fin assembly by a clamp provided with the signal. |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| Upon impact of the bomb, the fuze firing pin initiates a blank .38-caliber cartridge, which in turn, ignites the signal to produce a flash and a large puff of gray smoke. |
