Description
The sensitive-type detonators are employed with pistols having needle strikers in bombs in which sensitive-type initiation of the explosive train is desired. Sensitive-type detonators differ from the anvil type in that no percussion cap and anvil are provided, and they are made to a standard length of approximately 3.5 inches. Hence, they are interchangeable in service bombs, and are selected according to the delay incorporated in them.
