1. A shaped charge comprising:
a casing; a plurality of energetic materials positioned within the casing; a liner substantially covering the energetic materials, wherein a first of the energetic materials is a first substantially annular ring, wherein a second of the energetic materials is a second substantially annular ring, and wherein the first and second substantially annular rings each extends radially-between the casing and the liner; wherein the first energetic material is positioned farther away from a central apex of the liner than the second energetic material; wherein a first angle is defined between the first energetic material and the second energetic material with respect to a central longitudinal axis through the casing, wherein a second angle is defined between the second energetic material and a third of the energetic materials with respect to the central longitudinal axis through the casing, and wherein the first angle is different than the second angle; and wherein the first angle is more acute than the second angle.
