Charge Liner Construction and Method.

Abstract

A method of reducing the velocity gradient of a shaped charge liner is disclosed. A particular construction for the liner is also disclosed which has the same effect. The velocity gradient and jet-tip velocity are both reduced by forming a plurality of relatively small diameter holes in the charge liner before the liner is assembled with the remaining components of an explosive device.
