Introduction

These bombs, of which there are two sizes, are used to train infantry units simulated combat conditions. The bomb casing is splinter-less, thus reducing the possibilty of trai-ning injuries, but the noise and flash produced are comparabie to those of the explosion of a medium-sized bomb.

The bombs are fuzed with a pistol/detonator combination. The 6-lb. bomb takes a Nose Pistol No. 34, while the 60-lb. bomb takes a Nose Pistol No. 42.

The bomb bodies are constructed of rolled pressed paper, and are closed by a pres-sed-paper head.
