Mechanical clock-type fuzes with impact action
Electronic clock-type fuzes with impact action
The M500 is a mechanical, clockwork-type dual-purpose fuze with impact and time (remote) action. It is used with artillery projectiles for 105 mm and 155 mm howitzers and mortars of 105 mm caliber and above.
The M501A1 and M501 are mechanical, clockwork-type dual-purpose fuzes with impact and time (remote) action. They are used with artillery projectiles for 105 mm and 155 mm howitzers and mortars of 105 mm caliber and above.
The M520A1 (M520) is a mechanical, clockwork-type dual-purpose fuze with impact and time (remote) action, used with 155 mm artillery projectiles. The fuze can be used to achieve an air burst (time action) or impact detonation…
The M67A3 is a mechanical clockwork time fuze used with high-explosive fragmentation projectiles from 105 mm to 280 mm (field guns only), as well as the 90 mm M71 HE projectile. Thanks to its extended time-setting range, this fuze replaced…
The M564 is an American high-explosive (HE) mechanical time and superquick (MTSQ) clockwork-type dual-purpose fuze with impact and time (remote) action, used with 105 mm and 155 mm artillery projectiles.
The M565 is an American high-explosive (HE) mechanical time (MT) clockwork-type dual-purpose fuze with impact and time (remote) action, used with 105 mm and 203 mm artillery projectiles.
The M577 series fuze is the same as the M582 series fuze, except that it contains a different detonating composition and a different cap.
The M732 is an American-made fuze for high-explosive (HE) projectiles. It is used for air bursts with a delay and can also function on impact.
A mechanical clockwork-type fuze with point-detonating (PD) action from a German manufacturer. It is used both with air-burst projectiles (smoke, illuminating) and with high-explosive fragmentation ammunition.
The B90 is a mechanical clockwork fuze for high-explosive (HE) projectiles. Projectiles with the B90 are best used against self-propelled and towed guns (mortars), lightly armored vehicles, enemy personnel in the open and personnel in trenches…
