The M43 BZ cluster bomb, or simply M43 cluster bomb, was a U.S. chemical cluster bomb intended to deliver the incapacitating agent known as BZ. Each bomb was capable of covering an area of 0.11 to 0.88 ha with BZ agent, a useful quantity to support squad or company sized elements. Its effectiveness was hindered by limitations of the BZ agent which was easily visible and could be countered by a few layers of cloth over the nose and mouth. The M43 was produced in the early 1960s and nearly all stocks of U.S. BZ were destroyed by 1989.
