The Tracer Mk 5 may be used in this projectile, although the Mk 9 is the preferred as-sembly. |
|
When the V.T. Fuze Mk 59 is employed, the projectile adapter is removed, and no base fuze or tracer is employed. The base is closed by a gas-checked base-fuze plug. |
|
When the V.T. Fuze Mk 59 is used in this projectile, the Auxiliary Detonating Fuze Mk 44 is used instead of the Mk 43. With all other types of nose fuzing, the Auxiliary Deto-nator Mk 43 is employed. |
