1/72 M-117R GP BOMBS WITH MAU-91 FIN (6 PCS) (3D PRINTING)

The M-117R GP (General Purpose) Bombs with MAU-91 fin are free-falling bombs of the "generic bomb" type modified with the MAU-91 tail system. These bombs have been used by the United States during conflicts and military operations.

M-117R bombs are considered general purpose bombs because they are designed to be used in a variety of missions and against a variety of targets. Their main function is to provide a large explosion upon impact, causing significant damage to the target hit. They have been used to attack ground targets such as buildings, vehicles, enemy positions, and more.

The MAU-91 fin is a tail system, also called a guidance kit, mounted on the M-117R bomb to increase the accuracy of its employment. The MAU-91 tail contains control surfaces that can be adjusted in flight to guide the bomb to its target. This guidance system allows the M-117Rs to have greater accuracy in reaching targets and can reduce the risk of hitting unintended areas.

The combination of these M-117R GP bombs with the MAU-91 tail has enabled the U.S. military to improve its ability to hit targets with greater accuracy and reduced risk of collateral damage.

The use of free-falling bombs with guidance kits is common in modern armed forces to increase the effectiveness and accuracy of bombing operations while reducing the risks to civilians and the surrounding environment.
