In the context of explosives, "fuze" is US dialect for "fuse" in the English language.

There is a scene in Private Ryan where Vin Deisal gets shot and eventually dies.

Anyone know if that is accurate, or just Hollywood.  Did Vin Deisal really die?

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fuse

Fuze is the correct English term. American companies that design and manufacture fuzes, spell it with a Z. Granted, some Euro companies translate to Fuse (Zaugg being one) in their literature. However, Zaugg marks the devices as a Fuze when sold to US defense contractors.

My latest design was presented to the 56th Annual Fuze Conference in Baltimore 5 weeks ago.

Umm...

fuse, also spelled Fuze, in explosives technology, device for firing explosives in blasting operations, in fireworks, and in military projectiles.

The United States and some other military forces have adopted the “z” spelling for the device in ordnance munitions...

It's an American dialect. "Z" is not used by the British.

Safety fuse L1A3 is the standard British Army safety fuse for the initiation of plain detonators, L1A1 and commercial No.8 (Plain).

Blah, blah, blah...

GScholz, you would argue with God about your mortality. You would, however, be just as dead.

It's a fuse... or if you prefer, a fuze. No need to correct any wiki article.

Nice personal attack. It was obviously not a US citizen who wrote the wiki article. No one outside the US feels obligated to use Americanisms when writing English or any other language, even when describing US made equipment. Americanisms like "aluminum" are usually frowned upon outside the US.

There is a scene in Private Ryan where they take the 60-mm mortar shell and strike the tail against a surface to arm it, then throw it like a grenade.

Anyone know if that is accurate, or just Hollywood.  Could/can mortar shells be used like that?
As a former Mortarman in the Army - Yes it's accurately done.

How many times have you been handed PNG status? It's not an attack, merely an observation of established fact.
