ABSTRACT:
Shaped charge perforators are provided which include a metal tube having a first closed end and containing a high energy explosive. The closed end includes a detonation device for providing an initiation charge to the high energy explosive. The tube further includes, at its unconstrained end, a liner comprising a liner metal having a density greater than about 10 g/cc. The liner forms a depression in the exposed end of the metal tube.
