Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 No. Any ordnance shell has a fuse of some sort. The fuse only arms when the shell is fired. The force of the propellant causes a component in the fuse to move inside the shell, thus arming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
