| Description: |
|---|
| The body consists of a rolled-paper cylinder shellacked internally and externally. At the nose end an adapter is attached to a chamfered cardboard washer, and threaded internally to receive the pistol. The main filling is held in the body between a paper cup amidships and two felt washers at the nose, which position the exploder. The paper cup is supported by a cardboard washer, which is in turn supported by a split collar secured to the body by four rivets. |
| Use: |
|---|
| These bombs, of which there are two sizes, are used to train infantry units under simulated combat conditions. The bomb casing is splinter-less, thus reducing the possibility of training injuries, but the noise and flash produced are comparable to those of the explosions of a medium-sized bomb. |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| No separate tail unit is used. The empty after portion of the body serves as a tail. |
