Abstract
A chisel point striker is retained by a shear pin on the center line of a warhead above an open-ended flash tube packed with a percussion sensitive priming mixture. Impact of the warhead with a resistant target causes the shear pin to shear and the striker to impact the target violently thereby to set off the priming mixture. The resulting blast wave is communicated via two paths in opposite directions to two separate detonation wave acceptors or boosters. Each booster accepts the detonation wave and communicates a detonation reaction to a main explosive charge of the warhead.
