Abstract

Hollow-charge shell and antitank weapon for said shell, the shell being provided with an adjustable safety device that is automatically adjusted from a safety position to an armed position at the discharge of the shell, bringing a blasting cap contained in said safety device to its initiation position, wherein blocking means will give two alternative armed positions, one giving a symmetrical initiation of the hollow-explosive charge and a narrow explosive beam and the other giving an unsymmetrical initiation of the hollow-explosive charge and thus a broader explosive beam.
