Located within the outer tube is a charge initiating, assembly and inner tube containing a pyrotechnic charge. Running through the initiating assembly is a length of pull cord. One end of the cord is covered with a friction composition, the other end is coiled and a strip of tape. The M117 simulator has a dimple in the mounting bracket for additional identification at night. Issued with each simulator is a spool of tripwire, an extension spring three staples, and four nails for boobytrap installation.
