A method for obtaining and recording high-velocity compact metal elements moving with hypersonic velocities under high-intensity shock loading is developed. A light-gas ballistic device and shadow photography are used for this purpose. Application of a hemisphere–cylinder liner makes it possible to test a shaped charge that steadily forms a compact steel element moving with a velocity approximately equal to 6 km/s. The results of numerical and experimental testing of this projector are given.
