This document provides safety guidelines and considerations for handling different types of bombs. It describes how to identify bombs and warns against moving or disturbing bombs without proper precautions due to risks from fuzes. Specific hazards and handling procedures are outlined for high explosive, chemical, pyrotechnic and other bomb types. Bomb fuzes that could contain sensitive components like detonators are also described. The document lists ordnance that different bomb fuzes can be used with.

INTRODUCTION: Positively identify the bomb. HE-filled bombs may have rocket motors or fillers such as chemical agents, photoflash composition, or incendiary material. Observe safety precautions for the applicable fuze(s) during fin removal. Presuppose the most dangerous fuze(s) installed if visual recognition cannot be performed. Protective works should be considered before demolition. Tail sections may break away during impact altering appearance. Nose fuzes may be unidentifiable after impact. Tail sections may conceal a fuze, be badly damaged, or unremovable. SAFETY: Do not move/jar except by remote means unless permitted by RSP; fuzes may contain a hung cocked striker, antidisturbance device, etc. Do not move/jar a bomb, or attempt EOD procedure until determination of fuzing type. Do not drop/jar a fuze; the fuze may start or resume functioning, or may release a hung cocked striker. Do not turn arming vanes, insert safety pins or pop-out pins, pull or cut arming lanyards, or attempt fuze removal except in fuze RSP's. Tail sections may incorporate hazardous components such as ejection charges and powerful springs. Recognition of anti-disturbance, electronic multifunction, and long- delay fuzes is a priority. Do not use fuze-related accessories, such as lanyard lock, lanyard adjusters, closure ring/closure plug as positive identification features. EOD CONSIDERATIONS HIGH EXPLOSIVE/FRAGMENTATION: Observe magnetic, seismic, and acoustic precautions during the approach and continue to observe until it is ascertained that the precautions are not present. Do not remove fuzes by hand on picric acid filled bombs, fuze removal could detonate the bomb if salts are present. Do not pack a fuze well with plastic explosive if the well contains a detonator. Detonators are sensitive to heat, shock, and friction. Do not attempt to separate the detonator from the pistol, if attached, after pistol is removed from bomb. The firing pin may be embedded in the detonator, or explosive salts may have formed between the detonator and the pistol. Do not remove a United Kingdom tail pistol by hand if it has been in the bomb in excess of 14 days. Removal may function the detonator if explosive salts have formed between the detonator and the pistol. Thermal coating will attenuate the power of demolition charges. CHEMICAL: Large carrier bombs may contain linear cutting charges/central bursters. Most are thin-walled and therefore liable to rupture leaking contents. Personnel Protective Clothing and breathing apparatus may be required. Identification of fill is vital before EOD action. Leak sealing and packaging may be necessary. Downwind hazard areas should be calculated. BOMBS FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY PYROTECHNIC: Photoflash bombs must be handled with the same care as black powder, and with even greater care than conventional explosive- loaded bombs. When loose photoflash powder is observed, stop all work until the loose powder has been desensitized and the leaking bomb has been removed from the operating area. Do not manually remove a fuze from a photoflash bomb. The bomb burster charge or photoflash powder may be in the fuze threads, and may detonate the bomb if pinched in the threads. Non-stabilized incendiary bombs may use all-ways acting fuzes.
