NVA Chemical Delay Fuze

An example of the North Vietnamese NNC 82 chemical delay mortar fuze and a tin of the various delay capsules used in it. Unfortunately I did not get the paper from the tin that gave the delay/color key, but it is probably just as well since I don't read Vietnamese anyhow. You unscrewed the fuze nose and inserted the desired delay capsule. The fuze body is anodized alluminum.

Some details of what we knew about this one back in '68.
