| Description: |
|---|
| The simulator has a plastic body with a round nose containing the bursting smoke charge. This body is threaded to one end of an aluminum fuse housing containing the propelling charge and the black powder time training for igniting the smoke charge. Threaded to the other end of the fuse housing is the stabilizer, a hollow tube with circular fin at one end. The open end of the stabilizer is closed prior to firing by a cork plug with a removal tape. |
| Use: |
|---|
| To simulate the airburst of an artillery. projectile for high-burst ranging , practice. Launching is from an M76 grenade launcher attached to an M14 rifle firing a 7.62mm Grenade Cartridge M64. |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| Flash from the M64 grenade cartridge passes through the stabilizer to ignite the propelling charge, launching the simulator, and igniting the timing train ring. After a 5 second delay, the time train ring ignites the smoke charge directly resulting in a flash, a puff of gray smoke, and a loud report. |
