Abstract

A warhead including a body surrounding an explosive and a projectile forming liner connected to the end of the body. In order to prevent undefined chipping effects along the edge of the liner during detonative reshaping of the liner, the liner and at least the part of the body immediately adjacent the liner form an integral unit made of the same material.
