ABSTRACT:
A penetrator is made in accordance with a method for increasing strength and/or hardness of a metal specimen. Compressive force is applied to the specimen slowly so that the yield strength of the specimen progressively increases and the specimen exhibits squirming instability as its diameter increases. The penetrator is adapted to be fired from a smooth bore weapon.
