GVM fuze
- Thread starter Nabob
- Start date
GVM is only instantaneous (no delay selector)
Thank You, your images all show GVMZ fuze with optional delay.
I am looking for the non delay variant.
It is often reffered to in 120 mm mortar manuals, but only as:
"GVM fuze is the same as GVMZ only without delay".
As You can see in my drawings, and MINENAZ16 correctly noticed, the shape od the fuze is more "KTM-like", including booster assembly.
The real GVM fuze on the photos looks from the outside as GVMZ only the delay selector is missing.

Sorry, can't see the GVM in the attachment.
There is the GVMZ (AZ 399 (r)) and the GVMZ dlja min (GVMZ for mortars AZ 399/2(r))
The lower fuze is the M-1 (AZ 398(r))
The 12,2 cm HL (r) would be either the original soviet BP-460A fuzed with V-229(discussed here in detail earlier) or some german development fuzed with german fuze.
I cant find info on this right now.
