WWII

While talking to a colleague at work I found out that his grandfather had used these same bombs during WWII. He even had a few in his desk drawer to show me. So I believe the information on this weapon should be updated to include WWII. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.44.136.113 (talk • contribs)

Mk.44 bomb

In the Christopher Chant's book "World Encyclopedia of Modern Air Weapons" (Patrick Stephens Ltd. 1988) I found slightly different description of Mk.44 bomb with Lazy Dog elements. They aren't driven down only by gravity. According to Mr.Chant, Mk.44 containing in the forward part about 10000 Lazy Dogs and in the rear a high explosive load 21,8 lb (9,9 kg) of TNT. On the optimum height above the ground level this HE load explodes, driving downward a hail of Lazy Dogs with very high velocity. Maybe this bomb has some different versions, with or without explosive load?83.6.225.170 17:53, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Banned"?

No evidence provided of a ban.

They are no longer used because they were not very effective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.180.83 (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
