They can be easily transported and quickly set up in various terrains, making them suitable for rapid deployment and maneuverability on the battlefield. The smaller explosive charge of the light mortar allows for more controlled and targeted strikes against enemy positions.

75. What device is used to detonate a high explosive (HE)?

Explanation

A blasting cap is a device used to detonate a high explosive (HE). It is a small explosive device that contains a sensitive primary explosive, which can be initiated by a flame, electric current, or impact. When the blasting cap is activated, it creates a shockwave that ignites the main explosive charge, causing it to detonate. Blasting caps are commonly used in mining, construction, and military operations to initiate controlled explosions.

By ensuring consistent propellant ignition, the ignition booster helps to ensure that the round functions properly and achieves the desired velocity and trajectory when fired.

Submit
83. How do you change the firing delay times in a mechanically-timed M904 nose fuze?

Explanation

The correct answer is "By changing the delay element." This means that the firing delay times in a mechanically-timed M904 nose fuze can be altered by replacing the delay element. The delay element is responsible for determining the amount of time it takes for the fuze to detonate after impact or activation. By replacing the delay element with one that has a different timing, the firing delay times can be adjusted accordingly.

Submit
89. What does an explosive train booster do?

Explanation

An explosive train booster is responsible for detonating the main charge. This means that it initiates the explosion of the main explosive material, causing it to release a large amount of energy. The booster acts as a trigger, transmitting energy from one detonating component to the next, ultimately leading to the detonation of the main charge. It does not detonate the fuze or control the delay in the functioning of the fuze's explosive train.

Submit
90. How can you increase the penetration effect of a shaped charge?

Explanation

Increasing the standoff distance can increase the penetration effect of a shaped charge. Standoff distance refers to the distance between the shaped charge and the target. By increasing this distance, the shaped charge has more time to focus and direct the explosive energy towards the target, resulting in a greater penetration effect. This allows the shaped charge to generate a more concentrated and powerful jet of molten metal, which can effectively penetrate and defeat armored targets.
