Description

A compact shaped explosive directs most of its force into the selected surface, limiting unnecessary blast behind the assault team. Magnetic and adhesive fittings secure the charge, while timer and remote initiation options permit the team to withdraw to cover. Marked standoff distances guide placement against common doors and bulkheads.
