They are not exactly precision-made, although if you can do machining to within a dozen thousandths of an inch, they may be a little more aimable. <br /><br />1930's Germans (SURPRISE!) were experimenting with "hollow charges" as well as EFP's. The US military and commercial experimenters did a lot of post-war work. Here's a book that lays out the details for the advanced-math impaired: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0471621722/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=37WOA8GCQ1BY8&coliid=I3KWNM9WOZQJRL<br /><br />I could see cutting out a disk of 1" thick copper from a plate and casting an explosive into the correct shape.
