Ejection end blown out
Casing Burned through
description
Ejection cap only partially blown out
Comments
Normal delay time. Rocket came in semi-ballistic as the ejection charge wasn't sufficient to completely eject the chute, it was hung about half way out of the BT. The chute wasn't ejected enough to even partially inflate.
