PERCHLORATE-BASED BURST CHARGE COMPOSITION #1

SOURCE: Shimizu

COMMENTS: This energetic burst charge can be used for small shells, but is unsuitable for the smallest diameters (2"-3"). This mixture is much safer to handle than Chlorate-Based Burst Charge Composition #1 as it contains no chlorates.
