Videos tagged with Artillery Fuze

This video showcases the restoration of an M501A1 Mechanical Time Superquick Fuze, a military ordnance component. The content appears to focus on the intricate engineering and mechanical aspects of restoring this historical military item, presented in a way that might appeal to enthusiasts of military hardware, engineering, and potentially ASMR due to the title's inclusion of that tag. While not a direct firearm demonstration, the fuze is intrinsically linked to artillery systems used by the army.

This video provides a detailed teardown of the M557 Point-Detonating Fuze, commonly used with artillery ammunition ranging from 75mm to 203mm, including recoilless howitzer gun and mortar rounds. The analysis likely focuses on the internal mechanisms and operational principles of this critical component in artillery systems.

This video demonstrates the removal of a U.S. Army M577 detonator fuze from a 203mm / 8-inch submunition shell. The description details the Mechanical Time and Superquick (MTSQ) Fuze M577A1/M577, its compatibility with various artillery rounds (4.2-inch, 105mm, 155mm, 8-inch), and its airburst functionality. It explains the internal clockwork timing mechanism, setting procedures using an M35 fuze setter or screwdriver, and the function of safety and arming features like spin locks and setback pins. Differences between the M577 and M577A1 in their detonation initiation are also outlined. The video clarifies that the fuze shown is inert.
