shaped charge
Focused blast device
A shaped charge is an explosive device designed to focus its blast in a specific direction, concentrating destructive force into a narrow jet capable of penetrating armor or concrete.
The principle relies on geometry—a cone-shaped cavity lined with metal directs the explosion's energy forward rather than dispersing it equally in all directions.
Shaped charges appear in anti-tank weapons, demolition work, and oil-well perforation.
