M114 bomb

The M114 bomb resembled a pipe bomb

The M114 bomb was a four-pound U.S. anti-personnel bomb and biological cluster bomb sub-munition. The M114 was used in the M33 cluster bomb.

History

The M114 was a sub-munition for the M33 cluster bomb, as such, it was the first standardized U.S. biological weapon in 1952.[1][2] The M114 was an improved version of a British World War II-era bomblet that was designed to disperse anthrax.[3]

Specifications

The M114 was similar to a pipe bomb: it had a 530-millimetre (21 in) tube with a diameter of 41 mm (1+58 in).[1] 108 M114s were clustered into the M33 cluster bomb;[1] each had its own detonator and was ejected from the M33 while the bomb was still aloft.[4] Each M114 held 320 milliliters of Brucella suis.[1]
