The M557 is a mechanical fuze designed for use in artillery projectiles and mortar rounds. It is widely used with 155 mm high-explosive fragmentation projectiles. The M557 has an instantaneous-action function, which allows it to destroy targets on direct impact, and…
An impact fuze with superquick, inertia and delay action, set by turning the setting plug and by screwing the cap on or off.
The M739/M739A1 impact fuze is a modern fuze designed for high-explosive fragmentation artillery projectiles.
The M78 (M78A1) impact fuze with an inertia arming system is used with concrete-piercing projectiles of calibers from 75 mm to 280 mm, except 175 mm.
The M841 is a South African high-explosive (HE) point-detonating (PD) impact fuze, settable to superquick fragmentation (SQ) or delay action.
The KZ 984 is a Slovak high-explosive fragmentation fuze. The KZ-984 is designed for 155 mm projectiles of the HEER HB, HEER BB, ERFB-BT and ERFB-BB types.
The DM211 is a Norwegian variant of the M557 fuze, used with 155 mm and 203 mm guns. Unlike the M557, it has no problems when set to delay action or in mortar fire (no duds occur). The fuze…
