Were they supposed to explode on impact or could they (as seen) explode in the air, therefore expreading their lethal shrapnels on a broad area? I was unaware of this possibility. The General seems impressed by the demonstration, by the way.
The 41 fuze had 2 settings - impact and time, the latter could be used for airbursts.
