NOTE

•

The M804 and M804A1 projectiles are similar in weight and

external configuration to the M107 HE projectile.

•

M804 and M804A1 projectiles are handled and fired the same

way. However, the M804 projectile contains a small smoke

canister in the fuze well which provides flash and smoke for

visual determination of functioning. The M804 projectile body

has four body vent holes, 90

°

apart, which serve to disperse

smoke on functioning. The M804A1 projectile does not contain

any holes and has a large smoke canister.

•

The M732 fuze cannot be used with the M804A1 projectile.
