Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2426455A1] The method involves implementing a compression punch (14.1) for compressing an explosive material (18.1) in a military head or projectile body through a rear opening of the body. A punch guide (13.1) is interposed between the compression punch and the body. Length of the punch guide is defined such that the punch guide is in contact on a circular internal bead (12a) of the body or in immediate proximity of the internal bead, where internal diameter of the punch guide is lower or equal to diameter of the internal bead. An independent claim is also included for a tool for compressing an explosive material in a military head or projectile body through a rear opening of the body.
