Which is the old style chock used for bombs?

• A. Breakaway Cable
• B. Conventional Bomb Chock
• C. Universal Munitions Chock
• D. M-10 Adapters

Answer: (B)

Chocks are the simple restraints that keep a bomb from moving while it’s being handled or mounted. The old style used for bombs is the conventional bomb chock because it’s the basic, straightforward block designed to fit with conventional ordnance and legacy loading systems. It represents the classic restraint method used before newer, universal or adapter-based solutions were developed.

The other items aren’t chocks in the traditional sense: a breakaway cable is part of the release/retention system that aids safe separation during jettison, not a static restraint used to immobilize a bomb on the rack. A universal munitions chock is a newer, multi-fit design intended to cover a wider range of weapons, not the original, traditional type. M-10 adapters are hardware used to mount specific bombs to a pylon or rack and don’t serve as the fixed blocking device used by the old style conventional bomb chock.
