I was told the copper is on top and due to the heat & pressure etc. it turns to a plasma like state that melts right through the reinforced armor to penetrate. An improvement since we are now deploying the troop carriers that have the “V” shaped bottoms to deflect the blast.... Have no idea if it’s true...
yep copper is the metal to use or an alloy of copper. a college buddy had some RDX linear cutting charge demo units, the fake RDX was sandwiched inside a copper chevron. Before anyone freaks out, my college buddy and his step father ran a powder and explosive company, the demo units had no explosives in them, they were mockups of the finished product.
here is what they look like:
