The SC 2000 ( Sprengbombe Cylindrisch ) or cylindrical explosive bomb in English was a general-purpose bomb used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
The SC 2000 had a single piece forged and machined steel body and was similar to the preceding SC 1800 in construction. Around the nose of the bomb was a kopfring - a metal ring, triangular in cross section, designed to prevent ground penetration or to stop forward momentum when hitting water. The SC 2000 was filled with Amatol, had a single transverse fuze like the SC 1800 and a central exploder tube which ran through the explosives. The SC 2000 had a circular braced tail ring with four fins. Inside the bomb casing there was a reinforced H-type suspension lug and it could be horizontally suspended in a bomb bay or horizontally mounted on a fuselage hardpoint. There were also lugs that could be fitted for dive bombing. [1]
The SC 1000 or cylindrical explosive bomb was a large air-dropped general-purpose thin-cased high explosive demolition bomb used by Germany during World War II. Weighing more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lb), it was nicknamed the Hermann by the Germans in reference to the Luftwaffe commander, Hermann Göring.
The SC 50 or cylindrical explosive bomb in English was a family of general-purpose bombs used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
During the Second World War, the Luftwaffe developed a series of unguided rocket-propelled armor-piercing bombs. The three main types were the PC 500 Rs, PC 1000 Rs, and PC 1800 Rs. PC from Panzersprengbombe Cylindrisch the number from the approximate weight of the bomb in kilograms, and Rs meaning rocket propelled. These bombs were intended to be used against armored ships or similar targets. The purpose of the rocket propulsion was to increase the terminal velocity of the bomb and aid penetration.
