MM3676
Inspect for cuts and gashes. If
usable lengths cannot be salvaged
from the roll, it is a MAJOR defect.
Usable lengths are determined by
local SOP.
Inspect for excessive cracks in the
outer covering. This is a MAJOR
defect.
DEMOLITION FIRING DEVICES
The M1 delay-type demolition firing
device is timed with a glass
ampoule containing a corrosive
chemical.
When the glass is
crushed, the chemical eats through
the tension wire holding the firing
pin, releasing it. For this reason, be
very careful not to apply pressure to
the copper (ampoule) end of the
tube.
