MK-82
The Mark 82 is a 500-pound unguided general-purpose bomb used by the United States military, consisting of a streamlined steel casing containing 192 pounds of tritonal high explosive. It is part of the Mark 80 series and is one of the most common air-dropped weapons in the world. The bomb has a nominal weight of 500 pounds but can vary depending on its configuration, and is often used in conjunction with laser-guidance systems such as the GBU-12. The Mk82 has undergone various modifications over the years to meet changing requirements, including a redesign to meet insensitive munitions standards. The bomb has been widely used in military conflicts, including in Iraq, Yemen, and Gaza, and has been produced by several manufacturers, including Nitro-Chem in Poland and General Dynamics in the United States.learn more on wikipedia
