Description
Primer detonator M14 is available with delays of 0.01, 0.025, 0.10, and 0.24 second. A nondelay primer detonator also is available. The length of the delay time or the word nondelay, is stamped on the end of each primer detonator. The time also is indicated by the color of the exposed surface: non-delay, white; 0.01-1/8, black; 0.025-1/4, black; 0.10, black, and 0.24, green. The M14 has a knurled head and is threaded 12 threads per inch. It is thus distinguished from the M16 and M16A1, each of which has a groove around the head and 20 threads per inch.
