Description:
The 155mm Smoke White Phosphorous (WP), M110, and M110E1 projectiles consists essentially of a steel shell (casing) containing an M6 burster loaded with tetryl running through the center of the shell, and 15.6 pounds of White Phosphorous. An adapter in the nose of the projectile is threaded to receive the fuze. A rotating band encircles the projectile case near the base and is protected by a grommet for shipment and handling. A PD fuze is normally used with these projectiles. Except for the WP contents, these projectiles are exactly the same as the projectile H/HD. The ballistics and configuration are the same as the HE, M107 projectile.
Use:
These projectiles are fired from 155mm howitzers to produce screening smoke. The projectiles also have a slight incendiary effect.
