Description

Simulator, Target Hit M25 (NSN: 1370-01-344-5849) provides the gunner and tank crew with a cue that the target has been hit but not necessarily killed. The M25 provides this cue by producing a flash, bang, and a stream of fifteen burning pellets. T he target hit simulator consists of a plastic cylinder body with a protective cap, which covers a Styrofoam plug and attached lead wires. The lead wires connect to an electric match inside the container which ignites an expelling charge and pellets. The simulator is approximately 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
