Abstract
A counter-measure expendable load simulator that includes a handle, a spring, a hammer and test recording equipment. The spring communicates with the handle, while the hammer communicates with the handle such that when the handle is engaged, the handle and hammer compresses the spring, and when the handle is released the spring expands and the spring drives the hammer into a dummy expendable such that the dummy expendable is impacted by the hammer. Test recording equipment records loads imparted by the hammer on the dummy expendable.
