Projected rockets Flashcards
What are the types of projected rockets?
- HE
- ejection
- bursting smoke
- chemical
- HEAT
- incendiary
What safeties will all rockets have?
HE, frag, move, EMR, static, ejection (rocket6)
How do you ID HE rockets?
- heavy metal one-piece construction
- strongly resembles HE projectile
What are the HE rocket fuses?
- point detonating
- base detonating
- variable time
What are the HE rocket safeties?
Projected->rocket->
HE, frag, move, EMR, static, ejection (rocket6)
How do you ID ejection rockets?
- warhead is cylindrical and of uniform diameter
- almost always used BD fuse
- used plastic windscreen that will be held in by shear pins
What are the ejection rocket fuses?
- base detonating
- mechanical time
- variable time
What are the ejection rocket safeties?
Projected->rocket->
base safeties-HE, frag, move, EMR, static, ejection
illumination-add fire
WP or PWP-add WP, fire
How do you ID bursting smoke rockets?
- may have a burster adapter screwed or welded onto the warhead
- use color codes
- may resemble HE or HEAT warheads
- some HE and HEAT warheads have been modified to carry WP
What are the bursting smoke rocket fuses?
- point detonating
- variable time
- base detonating
What are the bursting smoke rocket safeties?
Projected->rocket->
HE, frag, move, eject, EMR, static, add fuse safeties
How do you ID chemical rockets?
- thin metal construction
- may have filler plug or buster adapter
- use color codes
What are the chemical rocket fuses?
- point detonating
- variable time
- base detonating
What are the chemical rocket safeties?
Projected->rocket->
HE, frag, move, eject, EMR, static, chem, add fuse safeties
How do you ID HEAT rockets?
- break or seam near the major diameter
- cap to house piezoelectric crystals
- spanner holes or wrench flats where stand off is screwed on
- two dissimilar metals where stand off and cone meet
