Summary: Trails of an EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) body armour system.
Description: A film is laced into a 16mm E-10 camera (double perforations) and camera control unit is set up. On an open range, a dummy is dressed in an EOD suit with helmet. Control room containing monitoring equipment is set up in a portable cabin. On the range, a sack of green explosive is suspended several feet from the dummy and primed; it is then detonated remotely. The aftermath of the explosion is shown. The dummy has been thrown back some distance; the visor on the helmet has been severely damaged but not shattered. Leg armour has been blown off but most of the armour (and the dummy) has survived.
