AND PROECTILE FUZES

Chapter 3 - PROJECTILE FUZES

Section 5 - AUXILIARY DETONATING FUZES FOR PROJECTILES

Mk 54 Mods 0 and 1

This fuze is excatly like the Auxiliary Detonating Fuze Mk 46, except that this fuze has a lead azide rather than fulminate of mercury detonator, and also a pointed firing pin in-stead of a blunt one.

The Mod 1 has an aluminum instead of a steel body, as the Mod 0 has.
