Blast-Penetration Warhead ?
Quite a few ASM uses either (in military jargon) a "Blast-Penetration Warhead" or even a "Penetration high-explosive blast warhead".
Now, these different nomenclatures probably means the same thing, but how would you treat these warheads in GURPS terms ? Are they normal HE warheads ? SAPHE ? APEX ? HEAT perhaps ? But the WDU-20/B for the AGM-65A/B/D is called "Shaped Charge Warhead", while the WDU-24/B for the AGM-65E/F/G is called "Blast-Penetration Warhead".

Re: Blast-Penetration Warhead ?
The description of the AGM-65E/F/G sounds like APEX to me, a heavy penetrator with an explosive payload.
