For a chemical projectile with pd, which safety elements apply?

• A. He, frag, move, fire, wp, c/s, emr, static, 1hrwt
• B. He, frag, move, chem
• C. He, frag, move, eject (filler), c/s
• D. He, frag, move, eject (filler), c/s, emr, static, 1hrwt

Answer: (B)

When handling a chemical projectile that uses a programmed detonation, the main safety concerns are the potential release of chemical agents and the physical danger from fragmentation, along with the need to maintain distance from the device. The appropriate safety elements to apply therefore are the chemical hazard (chem), the fragmentation risk (frag), and the instruction to move away (move). The inclusion of a general safety tag (He) reflects the baseline consideration of energetic hazards that can be present in ordnance, but we do not add hazards that don’t apply to this specific configuration, such as ejecting filler, certain environmental or radiological concerns, or routine tests that aren’t relevant to a chemical payload with a programmed detonation. Thus, the best answer lists helium, fragmentation, movement, and chemical hazards, aligning with focusing on the actual risks of a chemical projectile with a programmed detonation.
