| Description: |

| It is constructed of steel tubing 9 inches in length and 1-½ inches in diameter. One end is closed by a tin plate, friction-fitted and soldered, the other by a similarly soldered plate containing a center fuse hole and three vent holes equally spaced around the center. The body filling consists of thermate capped by a first-fire charge. A 6-inch powder time-train fuse tipped with a collodion and black powder mixture is fitted. This fuse is ignited with the attached pull-friction fuse lighter. The M2 burns for 75 seconds. |
