Title: proximity fuses in RL? (how'd they work??)
Post by: mason22 on January 05, 2001, 09:37:00 AM

just curious, i've never seen a shell or drawing or explanation of the physics and mechanics involved in a proximity fused round.

? Does anyone here know or can explain how these little boogers work?

technology is cool...
