Removed the reference about first use, as shaped charges were used earlier by germans during Fall Gelb. I can't say if bunker buster H-Ladung devices were first military utilities of munroe effect though.

[edit] Clarification necessary

The article should state clearly, that modern warheads based on the Munroe effect utilize a metal lining of the void, therefore increasing the penetration performance (resulting in a metal stream penetrating instead of "plasma"). This arises another question, is it realy plasma (I doubt that), or just the reaction products of the chemical explosion, i.e. hot and fast moving gas molecules? Furthermore it may be a nice information to add, since when the metal lining was applied. Maybe during WW2, but the effect was discovered way early. 84.166.205.235 14:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
