The bomblet is not contained within its SAFU, the SAFU is contained within the tail of the bomblet, three steel wire catches hold the bomblet closed until released by being dispensed, the bomblet then springs open. Once open tail is open to airflow and the wind turbine in the tail rotates the SAFU mechanism and arms the piezo electric fusetrain. The two major revisions of the bomblet are the original coronet tail and the later parachute tail. The center is not extruded, the individual bay manifolds are investment castings which are stacked together to form the core. BL755 remains dangerous for very long periods because it has no timer, battery or capacitor. It will detonate on the slightest disturbance. If dropped too low it will arm after coming to rest, thus leaving a highly dangerous and delicate anti personnel minefield. Chann94501 (talk) 18:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
