Magazine MCE ECM Designation Designer & Drawing Number DDESB Approval Date
0.625 Above Ground Navy Metal Box - Explosive Ordinance Disposal Ready Service Locker (EODRSL) 27-Mar-98

Comments -
This design was developed by NAWC Weapons Division, China Lake. It uses a modified off-the-shelf Sam Nally magazine to provide additional venting and seven special pumice- lined containers to limit the MCE in the magazine to 0.625 pounds NEW. A 30-foot clear area is required around the EODRSL, within which no permanent personnel are permitted. NAWS China Lake Test Report NAWCWPNS TM 7979 defines all conditions and modifications associated with use of the EODRSL. On 25 Oct 2000, the DDESB approved the addition of an eigth pumice-lined container for the storage of no more than 10 explosives-loaded enhanced 1.5 liter Mineral Water Bottle (MWB) tubes and/or standard 1.2 liter MWB tubes. The MCE remains unchanged.
