An important feature of the Lancaster was its unobstructed, 33 ft long, bomb bay. At first, the heaviest bomb carried was the 4,000 lb high capacity HC "Cookie". Bulged doors were added to 30% of B Is to allow the aircraft to carry 8,000 lb and later 12,000 lb "Cookies". The Lancaster also carried a variety of smaller weapons, including the Small Bomb Container (SBC) which held 236 4 lb or 24 30 lb incendiary and explosive incendiary bomblets; 500 lb and 1,000 lb General Purpose High Explosive (GP/HE) bombs (these came in a variety of designs); 1,850 lb parachute deployed magnetic or acoustic mines, or 2,000 lb armour-piercing (AP) bombs; 250 lb Semi-Armour-Piercing (SAP) bombs, used up to 1942 against submarines; post 1942: 250 lb (110 kg) or 500 lb anti-submarine depth charges.
