I have a basic question about ACW artillery rounds.
What types of fuses were used for contact sensitive detonation? Chemical, mechanical, or ??
If chemical, what was the basic design?
I ask because I need to know the differences and similarities between field artillery and naval torpedoes using chemical sensitive fuses (requiring only about 7 lbs of pressure to break the chemical vials of the fuses.
