SOURCE: Shimizu
COMMENTS: Shimizu lists this composition as "Burst Charge No. 5." This composition's sensitivity is quite low, although higher than that of black powder. The explosive force of this composition is lower than that of Perchlorate-Based Burst Charge Composition #1. This burst charge is often used in shells of middle and large diameter (6"-10").
