QUOTE (James @ Jul 7 2006, 10:53 AM) Well then, if that's the case, wouldn't shaping them like a cone dampen the effect? I would think you would want a nice parabolic shape with the focus of the parabola dead on the tank? James, I am not sure you understand how shaped charges work... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaped_charge -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

The fact that the focus of a parabola is where all the energy would go made it seem ideal. Oh well. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

dude, you're making them out of trash and other crap laying around. mission dictated, field-expedient charges...not some contractor-made hooyah like a frag grenade.
I've made them from gallon milk jugs, oil funnels, travellers soap containers, and crap like that. it's more the directional shape of the deal than exact physics of lines and shit. I think you're getting a bit too MadMath on it... |

All they're trying to do is get as much heat, force, etc. into one spot so that they can penetrate the hull of the vehicle, once that's done, all hell breaks loose inside.
