The MK82 is a free-fall, nonguided general purpose (GP) 500-pound bomb. The bomb is usually equipped with the mechanical, proximity electric (nose and/or tail) fuzes. The MK-80 series was developed in the 1950s in response to the need for bombs producing less aerodynamic drag. All MK80 series bombs are similar in construction. MKSO series bombs are cylindrical in shape and are equipped with conical Hns or retarding for extemal high speed carriage. They are fitted for both nose and tail fuzes to ensure reliability and produce effects of blast, cratering, or fragmentation.
