Hi guys,
attached an xray of a 24,5 austro-hungarian wurfmine.
I found that these shells could be filled with incendiary compounds, chemicals or HE.
This one, which contains a liquid, can be incendiary or chemical...
Any idea about this shell?
How is it possible to distinguish incendiary vs chemical?

Thank you for youe support!!!

Hello,
pic is not clear on what kind of 22,5cm MW is it.
from the detonator I assume it's a projectile for the 22,5cm Gaswerfer, can you confirm?
best regards
 
Hi Fert,
yes it is correct. It is a 22,5 mm gaswerfer.

In the picture on the left there is an incendiary model, while on the right the chemical one.
