Description
The M134 (E130R1) was a steel spherical bomblet with a cylindrical burster and fuze well located concentric with the axis of the bomblet. Located on each end, the cylindrical burster was an all-ways type impact fuze. Installed around the outer spherical surface of the bomblet was a plastic cover, which contained nine driving or spinning vanes that caused the bomblet to rotate when released from a warhead at high altitudes. Rotation of the bomblet armed the fuze. Detonation of the bomblets occurred on ground impact subsequently releasing the agent.
The M134 bomblet was used with the Honest John M79 (E19R1) 762-mm Warhead.
