How does that work? I thought these shells need to be fired before they are armed. If not, handling them seems very dangerous
That bit on the front of the shell looks like they swapped the fuse out entirely. Likely replaced with something that detonates when it hits the ground.
That bit on the front is switched out with a pointed tip before firing, that is just a tip to aid with moving the shell around in logistics I think.
You're right. I just realized I had it backwards. I didn't even see the loop part and thought that sticky bit was coming out from the nose.
