  1. Excellent complement to your previous RPG video! Jeff was a bit unclear about how a HEAT (shaped charge) works. The warhead explosion (outside the target) causes a copper inverted cone to form a very high velocity slug of molten metal that punches through armor and supposedly splatters around the inside of the vehicle. There have been reports of the 'jet' just punching through and not doing much damage inside. Many 'bazooka'-type weapons are designed to have the propellant charge burn inside the tube, for safety.

  2.  @TheArchaos  Thanks! I wasn't sure what the proper term was for the penetrator; I've often seen it called 'plasma', but it obviously is nowhere near that hot.
