Description
False Target Can Mk 2 Mod 0 has the same use as False Target Shell Mk 1 Mod 0.
Generally similar to the False Target Shell Mk 1 Mod 0, this can is a tube of sheet steel sealed at both ends, containing nine metal cups filled with a lithium hydride composition. These cups can be released individually at any desired rate when used with the new hydraulic-type air-operated signal ejector. The cups are separated by aluminum discs, and a one-inch metal spacer separates the end caps of the outer tube from the top and bottom inner cups. Tear strips are provided at either end to open the can.
