Exerciser Vs bung ?

[Yodamaster]

Hello everybody,

I have see on an other ammunition site the picture of a "Ex EKZ 11 Gr". I am looking on the signification of this "Ex". I found everywhere that it will say "Exerciser". It should be a munition used for manipulation and not for training shot as a "bung".

What is the exact difference between the two designation ?

When was this designation used because I don't remember to have see a WW 2 ammunition as "Ex".

I can't post the picture actually, sorry. The man who posted the pic wrote that he have also an Ex HZ 05.

You're absolutely on the right track, Yoda.
EX = Exerzieren means only manipulation, handling, drill and B = bung more extensive practice with some pyrotechnic effects (a little bang and/or smoke).

I'll come up soon with pics for a WWII example.

Thanks for quick answer Suddelmuk,

Now, I'm sure of one thing, "Ex" will say Exerzieren and not Exerciser ! My german is worse than my english ! Sorry to all !
