Shotgun Shell

Someguy, here is my dilemma, I know what book it came from, but I can not find the part of the book where it is found. The index is rather poor in terms of coverage. I also have some anecdotal sources, but can't use those as refences. LWF 18:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But that's just a completely absurd way to do it. They could just have a catch that mechanically releases the bomb. Some guy 20:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They do have a catch. The trouble is that in order to give the bomb a push off, they have to have something like the shotgun shell. Just releasing something without the force could result in an erratic path, due to the slipstream of air around the bomb. LWF 21:02, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not actually a shotgun shell though - it's a specially designed charge (a bit of research turns up that the current US standard ejector charge is the CCU-10/B) and is, technically speaking, mounted in the ejector, not in the hardpoint. Perhaps your book described it as being about the size or power of a shotgun shell? FiggyBee 01:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was described as a shotgun shell. And another source (forum so it can't be used) mentioned it too. The person mentioned that one time something had happened during the loading and he ran aand ducked to avoid getting a "chest full of buck shot". Although since I can't find a citation for what I've said we should go with your research. Since you have found citations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LWF (talk • contribs).

[1] lists a whole series of US impulse cartridges. [2] also mentions them as the devices used to eject stores from aircraft. I'm well aware that I haven't cited anything in my rewrite, but I'd really like to get my hands on something fairly solid (like an official training manual) to make the cites from. Using an actual shotgun shell as an ejector sounds bizarre: what possible function could the shot serve? FiggyBee 13:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[3] and [4] have a cutaway diagrams of various impulse charges. They do look a bit like shotgun shells, except they're fired electrically rather than percussively, and of course there's no shot, they're all propellant. FiggyBee 04:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
