A user-filled shaped charge system with up to double the load of Pluton™, Magma™ can carry explosive loads from 100g to 600g, depending on the requirement. Magma™ is a multi-role solution. It's designed for demolitions, rapid cratering, and explosive digging in regular and frozen ground, making it a versatile choice for operators. Depending on the target, the charge body can be loaded with a range of projectiles, including Copper EFP (explosively formed projectile), Copper JFC (jet-forming cone), or Magnesium JFC. The larger charge size allows the tool to penetrate thick, hardened steel bomb cases, such as the Tallboy.
Multiple applications: demolitions, rapid cratering, explosive digging
Variable explosive load and modularity
Powerful effect for a low NEQ
Compatible with several projectile types
Explosive Load and Performance
Copper EFP Set (MG1903)
It generates an explosively formed projectile (EFP) that may penetrate robust targets at much greater ranges than the jet-forming cone.
Copper Jet Forming Cone Set (MG1902)
Produces a jet that can pierce holes through steel or thick reinforced concrete, blocks or brickwork.
Magnesium Jet Forming Cone Set
Designed for penetration in explosive digging through regular ground and permafrost. Operators also use this projectile for controlled initiation of buried IEDs.
