“When the fuze [fitted to an M150 HC projectile] functions, an expulsion charge forces the payload out of the base of the projectile. Instead of a canister containing [white-phosphorus-impregnated] felt wedges like the M825 series [of smoke projectiles], the M150 carries 5 HC smoke canisters that are ejected and begin to burn, emitting smoke. Similar projectiles like the German DM105 or US M116 HC smoke projectiles are based on the shorter M107 155 mm projectile round, and thus only carry 4 smoke canisters.”
