Hollow charge - projectile with profiled plug of inert matter to distribute detonation to pay load

摘要

When the payload has been inserted into the body, with its funnel-shaped hollow zone, by pressure casting, a profiled hollow is milled out in the base. This is filled with an inert matter, such as silicone rubber, to carry the detonating shock wave to the payload. The charge consists of a mixture of explosive with a plastic bonding agent with a compression strength of =200 Kg/cm2 and a detonating speed of =7600 m/min. The purpose is to provide a suitable hollow charge construction suitable for mass prodn. techniques.
