Design

The SC 2000 had a single piece forged and machined steel body and was similar to the preceding SC 1800 in construction. Around the nose of the bomb was a kopfring - a metal ring, triangular in cross section, designed to prevent ground penetration or to stop forward momentum when hitting water. The SC 2000 was filled with Amatol, had a single transverse fuze like the SC 1800 and a central exploder tube which ran through the explosives. The SC 2000 had a circular braced tail ring with four fins. Inside the bomb casing there was a reinforced H-type suspension lug and it could be horizontally suspended in a bomb bay or horizontally mounted on a fuselage hardpoint. There were also lugs that could be fitted for dive bombing.[1]

gollark: If CC can download something so can other applications, generally.
gollark: Well, you can't, really.
gollark: So, lucas, what exactly do you want to do? Because sandboxing like that is quite hard.
gollark: If you have them be unlabelled and have some code downloaded onto them, you could make it so you can't read the code, at least.
