OK, I have some questions back on the original subject that I started this thread for.
Thanks for the websites - I had pretty much torn those and a LOT of other sites apart looking for information.

Is a 16" 50 cal HE projectile nose or base fused?
If it is nose fused, what is the small screw in piece in the center of the base plug?
Can the base plug be unscrewed with a BIG spanner wrench made to fit the holes?

Thanks - Terry
