Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a genuine Japanese late World War II Type 3 1/2 kg HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) Cluster Bomb sub munition. When the bomb was dropped, it would then burst, releasing these "bomblets", which would spread out, increasing the area of effect. It features original paint with a yellow band on the body, as well as faint arsenal markings. The Sub Munition is inert and can never be used as a weapon or for its original intended purpose, therefore complies with BATF guidelines governing ordnance.
Not Available For Export
This submunition was developed from the Japanese shaped charge rifle grenade, which was itself widely believed to be a near-identical copy of the German Gewehr Panzergranate. This is a typical example of this submunition, which would vary slightly depending on date and manufacturer.
The bomblet measures 1 1/2 inches (40mm) wide 10 inches in overall height, and still retains an intact arming cup/vane for the wind activated screw safety which activated the base detonating fuze. The fuze area unscrews, so you can still see the original internal "weight", which would be released once the arming cup fully unscrewed, and then would strike the detonator when the bomb hit something.
A very nice example of the rare Type 2 1/3 kg Cluster Bomb Munition, ready to display!
