What is the safety for a projectile with ejection and BD?

• A. He, Frag, Move, Eject, Fire, 1hrwt
• B. He, Frag, Move, Eject, Fire
• C. He, Frag, Move
• D. He, Frag, Move, C/S, EMR, Static, 1hrwt

Answer: (A)

When handling a projectile with an ejection charge and a BD, the priority is to address both the immediate hazards (high-explosive and fragmentation risk) and the potential for the initiator to act. Recognize that the device poses a fragmentation hazard and may have an ejection charge that could injure or injure others if disturbed. Start by acknowledging these hazards so everyone nearby understands the risk. Then move to a safe distance to reduce exposure to fragments and to any impulse from the ejection system. After establishing safety, perform the ejection action as dictated by your procedure, which helps prevent uncontrolled movement or activation during later steps. Only after these precautions should firing be considered, and only under the proper authorization and control. Finally, a one-hour wait time allows any delayed effects to reveal themselves and provides a moment to reassess before re-entering the area. This sequence emphasizes hazard awareness and safe standoff first, followed by the controlled actions and verification step.
