AN-M30 FUN FACTS
Fuzed, the bomb measures 38.46 inches in length and 11 inches across the fins. The center of gravity is 14 inches from the nose. For suspension on dive bombers a single suspension lug is provided. Two suspension lugs, approximately 14 inches apart, are provided for use in horizontal bomb-racks. The explosive filler weighs 54.2 pounds, of which 42.3 pounds is cast 50-50 amatol, and 11 pounds is cast TNT surrounding the fuzes. The remaining weight is in the auxiliary booster and the adapter-booster. Of the total weight of the bomb, the explosive filler is 54.2%. An alternate loading of TNT consists of 56.8 pounds of TNT. The bomb tail fuzes, AN-MlOOAl and AN-MlOOA2, are arming vane types with mechanical-delay arming. The M 14 primer-detonator used in this fuze is made with four different delays. Normally the 0.025 second delay comes assembled to the fuze,and this can be replacedwith the 0.01 second, 0.1 second, or non-delay as desired. The bomb nose fuzes, Ml03 and AN-3×103, are selective, instantaneous or short delay arming vane types. The fuze can be set for either superquick or 0.1 second delay. For delays not obtainable with the AN-MlOOA2 fuze, the bomb tail fuze, M112A1, is used. This fuze gives delays of from 8 to 15 or from 4 to 5 seconds using either the Ml6 or M16Al primer detonator. Similar to the 1X112Al fuze, the Ml15 tail fuze is used to give delays of from 8 to 15 or from 4 to 5 seconds. The main difference between the Mll2Al and Ml15 fuzes is in the arming mechanism. The M112Al arms directly while the Ml 15 has a gear train in the arming mechanism to increase the air travel required for arming. Fuze, M123, also may be used.
