Claim 14:
15. A method for disrupting an explosive device using a propellant driven disrupter (PDD), the method comprising the steps of:
loading the system of claim 1 into a disrupter barrel of the PDD; aiming the PDD at a target portion of the explosive device;
propelling the RP out of the barrel and toward the target portion of the explosive device; wherein the RP travels along a linear trajectory defined by a barrel longitudinal axis extending between a barrel muzzle end and the target portion;
impacting the RP with the explosive device or a portion thereof; traversing the RP a penetration distance through the explosive device or the portion thereof; wherein the RP traverses the penetration distance along said linear trajectory, such that the RP follows said linear trajectory during the steps of propelling, impacting, and traversing; and
disrupting the explosive device without detonating an explosive of the explosive device.
