Bunker buster

BLU-113 class penetrator that first drills deep into structure and then explodes.
That shaking motion is called Kadenacy effect, more info here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadenacy_effect

Interesting theory, I didn't thought about that.

As to the last poster there are lots more things to kill you above ground than below. Of course today with have the MOP bomb to take care of any bunker out there.

at the brink of war id rather sit in the garden than going into a bunker lol xD

but unly until the "backyard-buster" appears xD

@potis21 yea, but this is not the strongest bunker buster the U.S has.

I cannot believe this could be due to oxygen exhaustion. Because in deep bunkers the air conditioning and replenishment systems do not reach the anti-bb hollows. An no-self retained explosion using explosives that require external oxygen sourcing would have actually reduced yield due to oxygen starvation.

Ah, THAT shaking. ok then, that is because of hollow charge detonation sequence. Some material in superplasticity penetrates the final layer, so the superplasticity must be achieved by supercompressing the copper filling of the hollow head to the point of superplasticity. Ceramic is used to block the action as the countermeasure.

the shaking motion is because this isn't a video but a 8mm highspeed film camera played instead of the normal 1000 fps to 30fps for capturing.

And I say, still, what they DON't say is that steel&kevlar 1X1 inch layer *would* have caused the bb to blow right after the 1st layer.

An onboard hall sensor finds that speed has been reduced drastically and fires the charge. The reduction could happen if you reduce by means of steel the velocity, for the kevlar not to have its fibers break.
