Region
United States
Category
Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons
Armament US M1, M29 , M29A1 and M252 81 mm mortars and other medium- and high-pressure mortars. Development By US Army, based upon British designs for the L16 mortar. This round is no longer in production, having been superceded by the M816/M853A1 (qv). Description This is the partner to the HE bomb M362 insofar as it shares the same body without obturation ring or gas check grooves. It also uses the same tail unit, with drum tail and propulsion system. The principal difference lies in the filling of White
Phosphorus (WP) and the presence of a central burster tube filled with 11 g of RDX which, when initiated by the fuze, breaks open the shell and liberates the WP smoke composition. Manufacturer US government contractors.
