#WIP FUZES

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons
Armament 82 mm mortar bombs generally. Development Development history is not known but this fuze was a Soviet development, adopted by Warsaw Pact countries and slightly modified to suit their own needs. It has been widely copied and produced by former Warsaw Pact countries, including Bulgaria and Romania . Description The M-6 fuze is manufactured with a Bakelite, plastic or aluminium alloy body. Safety is ensured by a safety pin, withdrawn before firing, which locks the striker in the safe condition. A steel ball
prevents arming of the fuze until setback occurs on firing. When the fuze arms, the striker is lifted out of a pocket in the bore-safe shutter, allowing a spring to move the shutter so that a detonator and relay charge are positioned beneath the striker. On impact, the striker is driven into the detonator and the relay charge and fuze magazine initiate the filling of the bomb.
