What is point detonating fuze?

A point detonating fuze is a type of explosive fuse that is designed to detonate upon contact with a solid object. As the name suggests, the fuse ignites at a specific point along the length of the fuse and detonates the explosive charge. The point detonating fuze can be set for various delay times, which enables it to be used for a range of explosive devices, including bombs, mortar rounds, and artillery shells. When the fuze is triggered, a small detonator ignites the main explosive charge, producing a violent explosion that can cause significant damage to a target. The point detonating fuze is a critical component of many modern military weapons systems, providing highly reliable and precise detonation capabilities.
