Enhance your ordnance display or complete your 40mm L/70 XM822 projectile with this Dummy Aluminum Fuze, custom-fabricated in the USA at the ordnance.com machine shop. These high-quality, inert fuzes are designed to replicate the appearance and dimensions of the original proximity fuzes used on XM822 High-Explosive Prefragmented (HE-PF) projectiles, offering collectors and restorers a perfect finishing touch.
The XM822 was a high-explosive proximity-fuzed 40mm projectile developed in the United States as part of a modern air defense solution during the Cold War. Paired with the Bofors 40mm L/70 automatic cannon, it was engineered to engage low-flying aircraft, missiles, and fast attack craft. The round featured internally pre-fragmented tungsten payloads designed to increase lethality through airburst detonation triggered by its proximity fuze.
While the XM822 was tested extensively, it was never fully adopted or fielded by the U.S. military, making surviving components—such as the original fuzes—extremely rare. Our dummy aluminum fuzes allow enthusiasts to restore or complete inert XM822 rounds without the need for live or original ordnance components.
This Dummy Aluminum Fuze for the 40mm XM822 projectile is a U.S.-made replica fuze designed specifically for these rare projectiles. Whether you're restoring an inert XM822 to its original form, outfitting a Cold War-era display, or curating a museum exhibit, this fuze offers an authentic appearance with the safety of a fully inert component.
Approx length 3.5", Approx width 1.5", Approx height 1.5", Approx weight .3lbs.
