Weighing approximately convert 1 lb kg , the Lewes Bomb could be carried in quantity by an individual. The only available bomb at the time was too cumbersome to be carried by a paratrooper .

Inside the mass was inserted a 2 ounce dry guncotton Explosive booster booster , plus a detonator attached to a thirty second Fuse 28explosives 29 fuse .
