The MK-77 is which type?

• A. 500 pound incendiary
• B. 1000 pound high explosive
• C. 2000 pound incendiary
• D. 500 pound practice

Answer: (A)

The MK-77 is a 500-pound incendiary bomb. It’s designed to ignite large fires by delivering a napalm-like incendiary payload, rather than delivering a high-explosive blast. That’s why it’s classified as incendiary and sized at 500 pounds. It isn’t a 1000-pound high-explosive device, nor a 2000-pound incendiary, and it isn’t a inert or training (practice) round. The purpose of the MK-77 is to start fires over an area, not to produce a conventional blast or to be used for training.
