Yes they use retaining pins or bearings. Rather than counting on the force of a person or vehicle tripping it alone to set off the primer, it just uses it to trigger the release of the striker, which has enough energy stored in its spring to ensure the primer fires. complex but low failure rate. Can think of it as a person pulling the trigger of a gun, instead of hitting the firing pin directly.
madsexymanofthenight Yup, people might hate those things for the end result but I find the things really interesting from a purely mechanical perspective..
found 1 zz 35 and another one almost identical but with different markings ''RR 58 B40'' in a trench today, both without pins, are they safe to disassemble? thanks
So all three use the same drop pin just a slightly different design.

as long as they are not connected to explosives the fuzes just contain primers so they wont explode. at worse the primer will pop which is unlikely.
@@Stray03 Got it, thanks.
74 years in soil really made these things a bitch to open up lol
yup. they are pinned also which doesnt help.
owe some！thank u！i know how this works now
glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
