  • Submunition fuse with removable blocker
    Patent number: H697
    Abstract: A plurality of submunitions packed in a projectile deliver an incapacitat gas payload at far range from the projectile launch site only after the submunitions have been properly armed by mechanical removal of a blocker member from between an in-line firing pin and primer. A non-ground-impact type fuse detonates each submunition.
