Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2239536A2] The explosive charge (1) has a displaceable ignition device (ZK1) displaceably mounted in a hollow space (3). Stationary ignition devices (Zk2, ZK3) are arranged in a region of a main axis (2). A breakdown charge (5) forms projectiles or splitters at a front side (4) of the explosive charge in a circumference area around the axis. The projectiles or splitters are ignitable at a time point, which is adjustable relative to an ignition time point of the explosive charge. An intensity of the breakdown charge is limited based on deflagrative initiation or breakdown of the explosive charge.
