I am sorry, I do not have this diagram. The tracers were used only after the German occupation, Original Czech ammunition did not use them. ...

By the way - how was the warhead attached to the rocket body? There's no thread at its back, but a number of tiny screws can be seen in the...

I had one of these. https://www.wk2ammo.com/showthread.php?4515-21-cm-Incendiary-Schrapnell-warhead&highlight=unknown The warheads were all BL,...

This warhead is filled with FAZ 52, that's for sure. I don't know if it's "Üb" ; "Bl." or another ... Akon

This warhead is a very interesting example of a BS, but I don't think it comes from the R 100 BS - looks like a spin stabilized rocket for me. I...

Hi Bob, thank you very much! That will help me a lot. Do you also have the diagram form the version wih tracer?

hier noch ein paar Bilder, Gruss Joerg.

Habe noch einiges über die R 100 BS gefunden. Gruss Joerg

As far as another types of BS pellets are concerned, warhead for the Rheintochter R III missile used cylindrical pellets 18 or 20 mm in diameter, 27...

Here a PD 28 diagram, Bob

FAZ.. They write in the original fuse A.Z.52 for FAZ 52. I'm looking at one drawing. It is a purely membrane type without delay. VTL A.Z. 52...

Yep, sure, but we have another clue - the FK44 was designated as FHyZ in an original German drawing, what clearly referred to a hydraulic fuze. So we...

We leave guesswork and assumptions aside... :)

You are right, I forgot of the ZtZ (9) bomb fuze. On the other hand, it is mentioned (I cannot remember, if in German documents or Allied postwar...

Bibliography of Scientific and Industrial Reports, Vol.6 ,No.9 .

FAZ52 are called "the old ones" and FK44 the new type so I think not. I read about them only in relation with the Brandschrapnells. Aren't they used...

Hi User Question for everyone: ..Füllkorper 44 (FK 44) , FAZ 52 - Was there any other incendiary body besides these two designs? ... (Especially...

That was the speciality of the electric fuze. It was set at the moment of launching (same like el.Z.(9)), so the latest target info could be...

Maximum case diameter, above the extractor groove-44,9mm. Future research will answer other questions ...

I thought the same when I read this document. Sorry I also only found the "Rechliner-Hohlladung" mentioned in the text without any further info....

The warhead cross-section I posted shows a hollow charge-like cavity in the HE charge though, probably in a form of a ring. :confused: The...

"Hl" and the expulsion velocity of 200-300 m/sec. don't seem to fit together. @Alpini mentioned a "Rechliner Hohlladung", which I don't know anything...

Yes, the document is very interesting indeed, thank you! It also covers two other rockets, that have been intriguing me for some time - 15 cm PzSprR...

Hi @Grzesio, myselfes I wondered if H1 or HL is ment. But, with all the drawings and the "slow" propellant used, HL makes no sense. The terminal...

How interesting! Rebated-rim cannon cases are usually (although not entirely) associated with API Blowback mechanisms of the Becker/Oerlikon/MK 108...

Hi, I have sadly no original information about the R 100 BS. :( But, according to my notes the BS cone angle was (to be?) 30 degrees and their...

Case: Rebated .

Thanks. Is the case rimmed, rimless or belted?

Hi @Grzesio, your last drawing seems to show a front-mounted fuze in addition to the basefuze. The white divider between expelling-charge and the...
