Material.— Zinc body and steel cap. The original X.Z. 14 fuze {see Bemarks) is made of brass, aluminium, or zinc, with either a brass or a steel cap. Remarks. — This fuze has largely replaced the originalK.Z.14 fuze (non-delay percussion), which was introduced towards the end of 1914 at the same time as the 1914 pattern field gun shell, and was liable to cause prematures in the bore. The K.Z. 14 fuze is, however, still used for long gas shell (green cross). The K.Z.14 n.A. fuze differs internally from the K.Z. 14 fuze in that the safety powder pellet is in a brass sleeve ; externally, it differs only in the marking and in the shape of the cap, which is more pointed. Another variation of the K.Z. 14 fuze, marked K.Z. 14 m.V., was formerly used with the 7*7 cm. long shell, but has been replaced by the pointed fuze L.K.Z.16 m.V. It was a delay action percussion fuze designed for ricochet fire. K.Z. 14 fuzes were often found marked K.Z.14 Z v K.Z. 14 Zl., K.Z.14 Zp., and K.Z.14 Zw., and a K.Z. 14 n.A. Zl.is also found. The abbreviations Z., Zl., Zp. and Zw. probably refer to the zinc alloy{ZinMegierung, &c.) of which these fuzes are made, but this is not certain. 0 or stamped on the head of a K.Z. 14 fuze indicates a detonator of superior quality. * . With normal charge ; the maximum range with reduced charge is 6,562 yards.
