Claim:
A stand-off disrupter apparatus, said apparatus comprising: a delivery vessel with an adaptation for an extrinsic propulsion system, said delivery vessel having an enlarged rounded front end with an apex and an elongate cylindrical section with a rearward portion that is an axial shroud having a bullet trap and serving as the adaptation for the extrinsic propulsion system, and an aerodynamic component to stabilize flight; a firing pin system that fires on impact; a shotgun shell loaded with shot housed in a shell chamber; a substantially expanding bore adjacent to the shell, where said bore opens outward in the enlarged rounded front end, providing a channeled pressure focal cone for the shot; and a layer of disruption medium sealed in a dish proximate to the forward end of the bore and set-back from the apex; where the disruption medium is energized on impact by the shot from the fired shotgun shell and a force of the impact; wherein said energized disruption medium can neutralize an improvised explosive device.
