Description
The E105 was a nonpersistent chemical agent bomb. It weighed approximately 6.1 pounds. This bomb utilized a central burster and an air-arming impact fuze with an out-of-line detonator. The bomb was stabilized by means of a six-bladed collapsible fin. When the bomb was clustered, the blades were packed with their long dimensions parallel to the axis of the bomb. When opening they rotated to a position wherein the long dimensions were normal to the longitudinal axis of the bomb. The weight of the fill was approximately 1.9 pounds.
The E105 was to be used in the Cluster, Chemical 750-pound GB E135, which contained 60 E105 bombs.
