Hi,
Great pic on the cutaway, always wondered what they look like inside and what type of detonation assembly it might have.
 
Nice

I wish I had video of them exploding. I did some testing on these bombs and got to see them explode. To see them shoot up in the air and watch the small delay prior to the explosion is priceless. Would hate to be on the other end of a bombing run, thats for sure

Joe
