Fuzing: The fuzing of these three bombs is the same, with these exceptions: The Tail Fuzes AN-Mk 230 and Mods and Mk 240 Mod 0 can be used in the 2,000-pound G.P. Bomb, the AN-M66, AN-M66A1, or AN-M66A2 because the bomb has the Adapter Booster M115 or M115A1. Otherwise, the fuzing is the same as in the 1,000-pound G.P. Bomb AN-M44.

Remarks: A heavier nose section distinguishes the AN-M66A2 from the AN-M66A1.
