Category

Armament Specifically for the Argentine Standard FMK3 Mod 0, Assault FMK1 Mod 0 and Commando FMK2 Mod 0 60 mm mortars, but suitable for use in most modern 60 mm TDA pattern mortars. Development Developed by Rio Tercero factory. Description This uses the same body as the high-explosive bomb, FMK1 Mod 0, but the steel is specially heat-treated to break into large pieces rather than small fragments, since the requirement is simply to liberate the payload. A central exploder carries a charge of high explosive,
initiated by a nose fuze, shattering the bomb body and distributing the charge of White Phosphorus (WP). The tail unit is the same as that of the HE bomb, the same propelling charge system is used and the ballistic performance is the same. Manufacturer Fabrica Militar Rio Tercero.
