terms:shaped_charge
A high explosive with a lined cavity often used in gun perforating operations. The jet produced by the detonation has a very high velocity of about 30,000 feet/second. The jet can be shaped by the controlled collapse designed into the shape of the cavity and liner. The high energy of the jet is due to its high velocity and the mass of the liner which becomes vaporized.
