FUN FACTS:
The AN-M81 fragmentation bomb (1940-1950's), used against heavily resistant and concentrated targets such as light armored motor vehicles, PT boats, and landing barges, is similar in structure to the 20 lb. AN-M41 bomb. The case which is 1” thick consists of a closely wound helix of bar steel over an inner steel cylinder; the ends of the case are forged. There is an alternate construction which calls for a longer tube. The wire is wound the full length of the tube, and then the case is forged at the ends forming the nose and tail of the bomb. Fuse adapters are welded in at both ends, This heavy ease reduces the vulnerability of the explosive charge to enemy small arms fire. The bomb has a box type fin assembly and a standard double and single suspension lug. It is also equipped with an AN-Ml03 nose fuse and an AN-MlOOA2 non-delay tail fuse. The overall length is 43.75 inches and the diameter, 8 inches. The M81 is loaded with composition B; alternate loadings are Ednatol and TNT.
