Armament 81 mm mortars L16A1 , M252 and equivalent high-pressure types, and M1, M29A1 and equivalent medium-pressure types. Development By MECAR SA, to provide a practice bomb matched to its standard HE and WP Smoke bombs. Description This bomb is a similar shape to the M512A1 HE and M513 WP smoke bombs, with a plastic obturating ring and alloy tail unit. Most of the interior is taken up by inert material, except for a small spotting charge which, initiated by the impact fuze, provides sufficient flash and smoke

for the impact to be observed. The propulsion system is the same primary and five secondaries as used with the service bombs. Manufacturer MECAR SA.
