FIELD: shaped-charge ammunition. ^ SUBSTANCE: the shaped charge has body 1, explosive charge 2, initiating compound 3 positioned in the charge axis, and a shaped-charge facing 4 of different thickness in the form of a funnel with an increased thickness from the top to the base, the slope between the charge axis and the tangent to the facing generating line increases from the top to the base, the funnel base is made in the form of an outer circular shoulder, adjoing the inner surface of the body and the explosive charge end face, the height of the shoulder is equal to or exceeds the thickness of the funnel in the point of its adjoining to the shoulder, and its width makes-up at least 0.5 mm, the thicknesses of top t1 facing in the charge axis and t2 facing in the point of conjugation to the funnel are selected from correlation. ^ EFFECT: enhanced level of armour-piercing by formation of a shaped jet symmetrical relative to the axis. ^ 1 cl, 1 dwg, 1 ex
