      I do not know how many million of the darn things were made.
 They used a 28 ga. shotgun shell firec by an inerntia pin to
 ignite 4 pounds of coarse black powder to make a white smoke
 spotting charge.  The body was filled with sand, gravel, crushed
 rock or whatever was available locally.  Not a "Smart" weapon.
