Fuze:
Model M505, no delay function
Tracer:
> 4 sec.
Self destruct:> 4 sec.
Dispersion: > 0.5 Mils
HE type:
Hexal ~ 31,5 g.

Specially designed to impart energy and damage the
target in one or two ways: via a high-explosive charge
or via its incendiary effects.
• US NAVY linked the HEI & MP-T/SD together in a AA89
belt configuration. Found to be the most effective
solution in 30 mm full caliber range.
