Many other weapons utilizing hollow charges were designed and used in WWII, such as HE and AP (armor-piercing) shells, demolition charges, land and sea mines, torpedoes, etc. These weapons played a very important part in WWII. For example, in Ref 22, pp 11-16, are described various Amer demolition charges employed during WWII. They are now probably obsolete... [Pg.444]

Shaped Charge (Brit Hollow Charge), also called Cavity Charge. An explosive charge with a shaped cavity to make possible the concentration of the explosive force in the desired direction. The localized explosive damage obtained by the shaped charge is known in US as Munroe Effect (Ref 23, pp 8-33 G4)... [Pg.752]

Another magnetic antitank charge is described in Ref 1, pp 262-3 under the name of Panzer-handmine 3. It consisted of a bottle-shaped cardboard container with 2 1/3 lb of hollow charge (TNT or RDX/TNT). Three pairs of magnets were mounted at the bottom of the bottle, and a IVi sec friction igniter was located in the neck of the bottle. Total weight of the device was 8 lb... [Pg.3]

In another type of adhering (sticking) antitank hollow charge there were no magnets but a sticky pad (located at the wide part of the conical body) served for attaching the charge to a tank (Ref 1, p 324)... [Pg.3]

Haftmine (Adhering Mine). An antitank, hollow charge device consisting of a conical container (filled with HE), provided with a flat top and a handle. The wide portion of the cone was covered with a layer of a low melting colophony-oil plastic resin (m p ca 50°) retained on the surface by means of an open mesh cloth. In back of the flat top, which consisted of sheet metal, was placed a thermite-type charge (Mg +... [Pg.3]
