The fragmentation is those little circles in the drawing and the little cubes in the photograph. It is held between the casing and the explosive charge. Making the casing lighter does nothing so long as you have the fragmentation material present. A light cased explosive means that it has neither a heavy case which might produce incidental fragments and that it contains no material to produce intentional fragmentation. |
Any reason the fragmentation couldn't be on the outside of the casing?
