Armament HE shells with BSW thread. Development By SNEM for overseas sale. Description This uses a similar mechanism to the SC14 fuze, a direct action striker backed up by an inertia graze action. Safety is ensured by means of an inertia block, which releases an arming escapement and by a rack-and-pinion mechanism to bring the primary detonator in line with the striker during flight. The fuze has a movable cap which is supplied set to `S' for safe and is moved to `F' for fire before loading. Manufacturer SNEM:

Société Nouvelle d'Etudes et de Mécanique.
