= Continuous-rod warhead
{wiki=Continuous-rod_warhead}
A continuous-rod warhead is a specific type of explosive device designed to generate a long, shaped fragment of metal or other material that can effectively penetrate armor or structures. Unlike conventional explosive warheads that produce dispersive shrapnel, continuous-rod warheads feature a single, continuous piece of material—often a rod or bar—that is shaped in a way to maximize its lethality upon detonation. When detonated, the explosive charge causes the continuous rod to be propelled at high speeds.
