Hello,

Has there been 500 lb. MC bombs filled with TORPEX 2 explosieve?

The manual United States Bombs and Fuzes, Pyrotechnics from the U.S.N.B.D.S. says that the Mk VIII could be filled with some different high explosives, among which Torpex 2. But in AP 1661B, Vol.I Sect 10 they mentioned Minol 2.
None of he other MC models mentioned in the AP 1661B have been filled with Torpex 2.


Greetings - Antoon
