An Early Christmas Present

[EODGUY]

Another item in my free load of ordnance. A well done cutaway of an M134 nonpersistent gas submunition. It was designed in the 1950's for use in the M190 Honest John rocket and was to be lloaded with Sarin never agent. Never went into full production so they are kind of hard to come by. The red plastic body is 4 3/8" in diameter.

hello
this submunition exist with aluminium outer casing ? because i see the beautiful cutaway of another member (pzgr40) and it appear to be aluminium ?

Same family, different munition. Pzgr40 showed an M139 which was a slightly later development. Both were filled with nerve agent. The M134 here is a steel body covered by a plastic shell, with a transverse fuze/burster assembly. The M139 is two aluminum skinned hemispheres with a central fuze/burster. Much lighter and considered more efficient in it's agent to munition weight ratio. There are many other variations in addition to this two, but these were the two main ones that were standardized and received "M" numbers.
