This video demonstrates the disassembly of a WWII-era US Army 60mm M49 High Explosive mortar round and its associated M52 point-detonating fuze assembly. The process includes removing the inert round from its fiber tube, unscrewing the fuze using a specialized wrench, and then carefully taking apart the fuze. It also shows the removal of the M2 fin assembly from the mortar body, followed by the separation of the inert M32 primer assembly and the inert M5 ignition cartridge. Finally, the video opens an original box of 25 Winchester M4 ignition cartridges and inserts one into the fin assembly.

This video features an unboxing of the C1 Ammunition wrench, also known as a spanner wrench, specifically designed for 60mm and 81mm mortar fuzes. The demonstration includes using the wrench to unscrew an M52 point-detonating fuze from an inert 60mm M49A2 high-explosive mortar round. The description highlights the dual application of these fuzes and wrenches across both mortar calibers and references a related video detailing the disassembly of the mortar round and fuze.
