This video is surprising. It's about a new kind of EFP, from a series called 'Futureweapons' which airs in the US, hosted by an extremely irritating former Navy SEAL, rabbiting on about the latest advances in weapons technology.
After the first four minutes, you may be wondering why I posted it in the Naval Section. Keep watching. I was very surprised.

I can't watch this show because of this host. I can't quite finger what it is that makes him so annoying, but he seems to have that effect on a lot of people !!!

The guy on GI factory was almost as bad.
Good to see Peter Snow doing shows for Military Channel though.
Cool video. Pity they hadn't put a net underwater to catch the metal - Or would the shockwave of the explosion through the water have broken it? I'll direct that one at Yellowjacket.
The part of the bay they carried that out in is extremely deep. VLCCs can manouver with ease there. Also the currents are very strong. If they could find it, it would be difficult to decide where to look.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

My buddy knows him. I'll ask him what he's "really" like.
Very basicly its a concave metal plate with a an explosive charge behind it. When the charge goes off, the pressure forces the centre of the concave to snap through. the rest of the plate then "forms" (behind the faster moving centre.) as a shaped projectile.
