Additional Comments: Also known as a star shell, this round on functioning, ejects a white magnesium flare on a parachute. The flare illuminates a 1200 meter area with 500,000 candlepower for 75 seconds. The fuse on the round is adjustable for what altitude the round will function at. The round can also be set to function on impact in which case the magnesium will burn at 1980°C igniting any flammable material it contacts.
