Description
Summary:The XM175 Blasting Demolition Kit consists of four XM106 Demolition Charges, a single length of detonating cord strung through transverse holes in each charge and non-electric priming accessories. The kit produces pilot holes in frozen soil acceptable for the hand driving of anchoring stakes for the Littlejohn launcher. A unique packaging arrangement enables the kit to be unpacked, assembled, positioned and fired, by a user wearing arctic mittens, in a matter of minutes. No special training is required to function the kit correctly. Performance of the kit was satisfactory during engineering tests and test data show the kit is reliable and safe for handling by troops. It complies with the necessary military standard tests and I.C.C. storage, handling and shipping regulations.
