ABSTRACT:
A hollow explosive body is disclosed including a generally cylindrical outer jacket having a main explosive arranged therein. The hollow explosive body is characterized by a lining which at least partially closes and extends within the jacket to define a chamber. An auxiliary explosive charge is arranged within the chamber. Detonation of the auxiliary explosive charge expands the liner, the main explosive, and the jacket, thereby resulting in a hollow explosive body having a greater caliber.
