Abstract
An explosive device includes a housing and an explosive charge within the housing. The explosive charge includes a primary explosive charge and a shaped charge placed against an inside surface of the housing. The explosive device may further include a buffering material that separates the shaped charge and the primary explosive charge. The shaped charge provides a means for opening the housing before detonating the primary explosive charge, thereby enhancing the blast effect from detonating the primary explosive charge.
