Sea Foam green color, red writing; projectiles may have burster adapter.
What are the types of fuzing for Projected Projectile Bursting Smoke and Mortar Bursting Smoke?
PD VT ET MT PTTF (projectiles add BD)
What are the types of safeties for Projected Projectile Bursting Smoke and Mortar Bursting Smoke?
HE Frag Move Fire WP
What are the key ID features for Projected Projectile Chemical and Mortar Chemical?
Use ejection and bursting smoke ID features in conjunction w/ color codes.
What are the fuzes for Projected Projectile Chemical and Mortar Chemical?
PD VT ET MT PTTF (projectiles add BD)
What are the safeties for Projected Projectile Chemical and Mortar Chemical?
HE Frag Move Chem
What are the key ID features for Projected Projectile HEAT?
Break in seam near major diameter; two dissimilar metals at the break in the major diameter, will have some type of standoff, may have cap housing PE/Lucky crystals
What are the fuzes for Projected Projectile HEAT?
PIBD and BD
What are the safeties for Projected Projectile HEAT w/ BD?
