| Description: |
|---|
| Each simulator charge consists of a cylindrical shipboard tube filled with a charge of black powder and closed at each end with a straw-board cup. The bottom cap is of the drumhead type. The kraft paper drumhead allows the charge to be opened for priming. The simulators are coated with paraffin wax and packed in paper tubes, five per tube, with a label attached to the outside of each package. |
| Use: |
|---|
| To visually simulate the bursting of an artillery projectile near the ground. |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| One charge is used in the smoke puff discharger (NSN 6920-00-714-9756) and fired by a percussion primer cap (NSN 1370-(0-(028-5248). The primer cap is fired by a blow from the manually actuated firing arm. The flash from the primer ignites the loose black powder in the discharger cap which ignites the charge. Burning is instantaneous. |
