Construction: Nose and tail pieces of cast steel screw onto a central section of seamless steel tubing. A square helical steel spring is wound around the steel tubing. The nose and tail pieces are partially cut through, to afford greater fragmentation. The bomb is suspended by single lug or in a cluster (M27) of six bombs. The tail is of normal U.S. box construction and is secured to the bomb by a locking ring. |
