| Source measurement | The round would either shatter on hard contact by kinetic energy alone after travelling at least 8 metres, spreading the incendiary content over a 5 to 8 metre area (in this case the scattering charge does not explode), or if fired into the air over enemy dispositions, the cartridge would be burst by a scattering charge after 1.3 seconds of flight (this represents forward travel of 70–80 m), the scattering charge being ignited by the delay fuse.[source]Handflammpatrone · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage When burst in flight, the incendiary material spreads across an area approximately 10 m wide and 15 m long and burns at 1,300 °C. |
Counts only measures both sources give with the same scope. A larger figure is not a better system.
