A fuze mounting assembly of a penetrating weapon comprising:
- a fuze well having a receiving well formed therein;
- and
- a fuze including a fuze housing having an integral flange formed thereon, a portion of the fuze housing being received in the fuze well and the integral flange being secured to the fuze well, the fuze mounting assembly configured to exhibit an amplification of acceleration of less than 3.0 when subjected to impact and penetration shock responsive to the penetrating weapon contacting a target.
A fuze mounting assembly of a penetrating weapon comprising:
- a fuze well including a receiving well having a surface on an interior thereof having a threaded portion, a portion of the fuze well having a plurality of threaded holes therein;
- and
