Description
The Burster, Field, Incendiary, M4 is used primarily to ignite field improvised incendiary munitions.
The M4 Burster is a tubular steel container with a cap at one end and a plug at the other, both secured by bayonet-type locking lugs. A small threaded hole in the plug is closed with a shipping plug and provides an access port for fuzing. A pyrotechnic ignition mixture, tetryl pellets and a burster cup are contained in two concentric plastic tubes preassembled within the steel burster tube. The bayonet-type locking design of the cap and plug permit the joining of two or more of the bursters, as required. Both cap and plug are sealed by means of a preformed packing.
