Abstract

See full text

Hollow charges are often used for combating moving, lightly armored targets and do not fulfill their task due to relatively small effective charges which arrive at the target. When using blasting charges for civilian purposes, large borings must often be made at inaccessible positions without substantially affecting the environment. A shape charge (8) having a lining (3) which explodes outward in the axial area thereof punches an overcalibrated opening in the target area. A large effective charge (7) or other elements can be inserted through said opening. According to the invention, the delayed ignition of a large effective charge (7) results in a massively increased effect thereof in the target. The ammunition body (1) is provided for use predominantly in combating moving, lightly armored targets, but can also be used for oil exploration and delivery.
