The fuzing system provides for impact firing after contact with either a soft or hard target. An inert loaded bomb, containing a live fuze but no main charge, is used for fuze reliability testing and establishing delivery tactics. The impact sensing element Mods 0 and 1bomb) and base fuze vanes are unpainted. The standoff probe, bomb body, and base fuze element cover are anodized gold. The fins are white plastic. A 15-millimeter (.60-inch) yellow band is stenciled around the base of the bomb body. A mental foil decal, with the words SAFE and ARM in silver letters on a green and red background is affixed to the base fuze element cover just above the safe/arm indicator window. On some bombs, the decal is replaced with the words ARMED WHEN RED stenciled in black in the same location.
