M43 BZ cluster bomb
The M43 BZ cluster bomb, or simply M43 cluster bomb, was a U.S. chemical cluster bomb intended to deliver the incapacitating agent known as BZ. The weapon was produced in the early 1960s and all stocks of U.S. BZ were destroyed by 1989.
==History==
The United States Army re-evaluated its chemical and biological weapons programs in 1961.〔 This re-evaluation led to a renewed focus on an incapacitating agent program.〔 A project was established to begin producing BZ munitions; one result was the mass production of the Chemical Corps' M43 BZ cluster bomb in March 1962.〔〔Smart, Jeffery K. ''(Medical Aspects of Chemical and Biological Warfare )'': Chapter 2 - History of Chemical and Biological Warfare: An American Perspective, ((PDF ): p. 51), ''Borden Institute'', Textbooks of Military Medicine, PDF via Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base, accessed December 10, 2008.〕 Though M43s and another BZ weapon, the M44 generator cluster, were produced, they were never really considered an integral part of the U.S. chemical arsenal.〔 In the end around 1,500 BZ munitions were produced between the M43 and the M44.〔Davison, Neil.
