For color coding of weapons, what does Yellow mean?

• A. Insensitive Munitions
• B. High Explosive
• C. Practice/Training
• D. Low Explosive

Answer: (B)

Color coding on weapons provides a quick hazard cue for handling and safety. Yellow marks indicate High Explosive filling, so any item bearing that color should be treated as hazardous energetic material and handled with full explosive safety procedures. This color scheme helps crews distinguish HE items from inert, training, or other types. Insensitive Munitions, Practice/Training, and Low Explosive are represented by different markings or color schemes and are not signaled by yellow.
