The Bangalore torpedo was later adopted by the U.S. Army during World War II, as the "M1A1 Bangalore torpedo". Bangalore torpedoes were packed in wooden crates that contained 10 torpedo sections, 10 connecting sleeves, and 1 nose sleeve. The total weight of a crate was 176 pounds (80 kg).
The APOBS replaces the Bangalore torpedo, which is heavier when all sections are used together, takes significantly longer to set up, and cannot be deployed from a standoff position. It reduces the number of soldiers required to carry and employ the system to two, as opposed to as many as 12 for a Bangalore torpedo using all sections.
The British and Commonwealth developed their systems during the Second World War. The Canadians developed "Snake", an oversized application of the Bangalore torpedo in 1941 to 1942. [2] A more flexible development was "Conger", developed in 1944, a tube that could be fired across the minefield and then filled with explosive before detonation. [3]
The Type 98 was able to fire at least three different types of projectiles: a finned Bangalore Torpedo and two kinds of stick bombs. The stick bombs were composed of a 48 mm (1.9 in) diameter hardwood stick that fitted into the barrel of the launcher and was reinforced with a metal cap at the bottom to withstand the stress of firing.
