Artifice de divertissement auto-propulsé(ne pas confondre avec une bombe qui est tiré à l'aide d’un mortier), qui permet la dispersion et l'allumage en altitude des éléments d’artifice produisant un effet visuel ou sonore. La fusée est propulsée par un moteur à poudre tout au long de son ascension. Sa trajectoire est stabilisée par une baguette qui est fixée sur le corps et qui retombe lorsque la charge a explosé à son point culminant. Leur sensibilité au vent latéral et le problème représenté par la retombée de ces baguettes expliquent que les fusées ne sont que rarement utilisées par les professionnels. Les effets, colorés ou bruyants, sont identiques à ceux des bombes. Elles peuvent être tirées unitairement ou en salve. 3, record 1, French, - fus%C3%A9e

Hedgehog is an ahead throwing weapon comprising of 24 projectiles containing 32 lbs (15kg) of "torpex" explosive based on the mortar principal and fired in quick succession. The 24 spigots on which the projectile sat were arranged in 6 rows of 4 and offset so the "hedgehog" bombs entered the water ahead of the ship in a circle of about 130 feet (about 45 metres) in diameter. The bombs were armed by an impeller located in the nose which rotated as it passed through the water actuating the percussion fuse allowing the bomb to explode on contact. 3, record 4, English, - ahead%20throwing%20weapon
