  • Patent number: 9341454
    Abstract: Directed fragmentation weapon including a housing having front, back, top edge, bottom edge and side edge walls defining a closed chamber therein. The front wall is formed as a pellet matrix construction including a plurality of compartments formed as recesses on the surface facing the inside of the chamber. The compartments are substantially similar in shape and size to each other and a plurality of pellets of fixed diameter within the matrix. Each compartment contains one pellet therein. Explosive material is placed into the chamber, which is sufficient to propel the pellets from the matrix, and a detonator arrangement for exploding the material. Depths of a part or all of the compartments measured perpendicularly to the front wall and from the inner surface of the front wall are defined by equation h=C×A??(I) wherein equation coefficient C is 0.1-3, and A is the pellet diameter.
