SOTS M10: Vane Armed Point‐Detonating Bomb Fuze

Part of the SOTS set, but also available individually here.

Like all AOTM models, this is mechanically functional; the parts move and the mechanisms can be moved through the arming and firing sequences. This is a favorite among those who like gears, this fuze is great for showing how the number of rotations can incorporate in the arming sequence. This fuze also shows a clear external indicator of being armed with firing pin protrusion.

• Impeller
• Point detonating
• Gear Arming Train (cycle-based arming)
