Firing Device Electrical M57
I made this up from from a damaged body and seized mechanism,
.
Most of the info i have found online says they are used with claymores,Are they used with any other equipment ?
Info i found..........
One M57 firing device is issued with the Ml8A1 claymore mine. The device is a hand-held pulse generator.
A squeeze of the handle produces a double 3-volt electrical pulse of sufficient energy to fire the electric blasting cap through the 100 feet of firing wire issued with the mine. On one end of the firing device is a rubber connecting plug with a dust cover.
The safety bail (metal loop on rear of device) has two positions.
In the upper SAFE position, it acts as a block between the firing handle and the generator.
In the lower FIRE position, the generator can be activated.
