The shaped charge (1) consists of an axial cavity (2a) which is clad (lined) with a metal wall (2), and of a detonating device (6) which points away from this cavity. The charge (3) is surrounded axially by a second tubular explosive charge (4) which is provided with the detonating device (6) and is clad internally with a metal layer (5), the latter being separated from the first charge (3) by an annular space (4a) which is empty or is filled with a material having a low density. The two charges (3), (4) together form an angle (b) whose tip (S) points in the opposite direction to the detonating device (6). The purpose of the shaped charge is to produce armour-piercing explosive bodies. <IMAGE>
