Armament Mortars of the M2 and M19 type Development By US Army Ordnance to satisfy military requirement for a training round. Description Unlike other mortar ammunition, the components of this bomb are issued separately to facilitate the replacement of worn, expended or damaged parts. The round consists of an inert projectile, a fin assembly and an ignition cartridge. The projectile is pear shaped, is made of cast iron and has no provision for a fuze. It is intrenally threaded at the base to accept the fin
assembly. The cartridge is fired using only the ignition cartridge and may be recovered for reuse, as there is no detonation upon impact. Although obsolescent in US service, this bomb may still be encountered in other countries. Manufacturer US Army contractors.
