Which type of round is used for fragmentation and blast effect
-
Training
-
Illumination
-
HIgh explosive
-
Red/ white phosphurus
Correct Answer
A. HIgh explosiveExplanation
High explosives are commonly used for fragmentation and blast effects. When detonated, high explosives release a large amount of energy in a short period of time, resulting in a powerful explosion. This explosion creates a shockwave that can cause fragmentation of surrounding objects, such as buildings or vehicles, and produce a blast effect that can cause damage or injury. Therefore, high explosives are the most suitable type of round for achieving fragmentation and blast effects.Rate this question:

What are the 3 common charateristics that hand granandes share
-
Mid range employment and delay for throwing
-
Long employment range, medium casualty radius, and safe throwing
-
Short employment range, small casualty radius, and delay element permits safe throwing
-
Medium employment range, short casuallty radius, and delay element permits safe throwing
Correct Answer
A. Short employment range, small casualty radius, and delay element permits safe throwingExplanation
Hand grenades typically have a short employment range, meaning they can only be thrown a relatively short distance. They also have a small casualty radius, which means the area of effect where the grenade can cause harm is limited. Additionally, hand grenades are designed with a delay element that allows the person throwing the grenade to have a safe distance before it explodes. These characteristics make hand grenades effective for close-quarters combat and allow for safer handling and throwing.Rate this question:
