Door breaching projectile

A door breaching projectile comprising:

• a shell containing an explosive charge;
• a mouth at an open end of the shell being connected to a rear edge of a body member;
• a mouth of a hollow ogive being connected to a forward edge of the body member;
• a safe-and-arm mechanism disposed in the body member, which safe-and-arm mechanism delays alignment of a detonator pin with a detonator charge only after the door breaching projectile has been propelled over a safe distance from the launcher and has spin rotated through predetermined numbers of spin;
• and
• a plunger slidable in a seat member, which assembly is mounted on a forward face associated with the forward edge of the body member;
• so that, upon the door breaching projectile impacting on a door or barricade, the plunger is forced into the seat member to impinge onto the detonator pin, which then sets off the detonator charge and explosive charge, such that explosive shock waves cause the door/barricade to cave in but the projectile remains substantially outside the door/barricade.
