I think all the VX rounds we had in the 70’s and 80’s were binary. When I was in the 155mm SP Artillery, 13E Fire Direction Center, the only thing we needed to know about firing chemical rounds was the weight variation from the standard “95 lb. 4 square” of the HE rounds.

= = =

If they are binary, are the components configured in the same round, or put together before firing?

If binary, the components are fairly tame, and destruction should be clean and easy.

And if binary, the agent is NOT VX, yet.
