Q
  1. What is the consideration when use expedient shaped charge?
A

a) Consistent result are difficult to obtain due to variables such as explosive density, configuration, and cavity liner density
b) If no liner is present, it uses a hot air jet

Q
  1. What is difference between the Munroe effect and Miznay cardin effect?
A

Munroe effect: shock waves reflect to each other which increasing speed of explosive, and forms a Jet
Miznay effect: large sheet of explosive with a sturdy metal backing plate. After initiation, the explosion turns the metal plate into a blunt nosed projectile

19
Q
  1. In dust initiator charge, 1lb of explosive will effective up to what
A

Up to 40lbs of cover

20
Q
  1. How much M112 is placed on a 4.2 IN?
A

½ block

21
Q
  1. How much M-4 fuel thickening compound would you use for a 55 gallon fuel drum?
A

Use 3 ounces M-4 thickening compound per gallon

150 ounces M-4 and 50 gallons

22
Q
  1. What is N.E.W of 4.2 IN?
A

9lbs

23

25
Q
  1. What is the characteristics of dust initiator charge?
A

a) Most effective in closed spaces

b) Charge size is 1lb (half explosive / half incendiary mix)

26
Q
  1. What is the formula for volume of cone?
A

3.14 x R^2 x 1/3 height of cone

27
Q
  1. How much M112 is placed on a 105 mm?
A

½ block

28
Q
  1. What types of fuel (oil) can be used for expedient flame fougasse?
A

Non ethanol gas

29
Q
  1. What is the charge size of the dust initiator charge?
A

Charge size is 1lb (half explosive / half incendiary mix)

30
Q
  1. What are the two ways to prime mortar rounds?
A

a) To prime from fuse-well
Remove carrying ring, or fuse, and pack fuse well with C4

b) To prime externally
Up to 240mm, detonate with 2lbs explosives in good contact with case, just forward of rotating band

31
Q
  1. How much M112 is placed on a 120 mm?
A

1 block

32
Q
  1. What is optimum characteristic of an expedient shape charge?
A

a) Cavity liner: Copper, zinc, glass, and tin
b) Cavity angle: 42-45 degree (will work 30-60 degree)
c) Explosive height: two times the cone height
d) Standoff height: 1 ½ the diameter of cone
e) Detonation point: exact top center of the charge

33

Q
  1. What is N.E.W of 120 mm?
A

10lbs

35
Q
  1. What is the formula of dust initiator charge
A

(Cubic Volume divided by 1000) X 3 or 5 , then divide by 40

Round up to whole number

37
Q
  1. For Crimper method time fuse, the nut itself is how many seconds?
A

1 Sec

38
Q
  1. What is claymores made of?
A

1.5lbs C4 filler with RE factor of 1.34
