What’s the name of that gif supposed to mean ?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Something like "Shaped charge animation" I think

I don't think there's a ricochet, as (if my memory is right), bazookas use a shaped charge and that hole is caused by a jet of plasma.

Pretty high tech for the time.

That’s very cool! The plasma is caused by the heat?

[–] theroastedtoaster@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Plasma isn't quite correct. It's more like a jet of metal (usually copper) travelling so fast it behaves closer to a liquid
