PRACTICE WARHEADS |
The GP warhead is used against a variety of targets.
Maximum penetration is obtained by using a solid nose
plug and the delayed-action base fuze. Its maximum
blast effect is obtained by using an instantaneous-acting
nose fuze. The only GP warhead currently in use is the
Mk 24 Mod 0.
