ABSTRACT:
A new aerial bomb for uses such as scaring birds and other such creatures away from airport runways, farmer's fields, and the like, is disclsoed. When detonated in a shotgun, the aerial bomb provides two reports; the first occurring when the propelling powder in the shotgun shell is ignited, and the second occuring when the ignited projectile bomb explodes several seconds later. A unique fuse is provided such that no physical connection is necessary in the shotgun shell between the propellant powder and the explosive projectile fuse. Furthermore, the casing of the shell is provided with visual observation means and the projectile is provided with position indicator means, so that the fully assembled aerial bomb may be readily inspected to verify proper installation of the projectile in the casing.
