A boom of reduced cross-sectional area, extending rearwardly, affixed to the apex of the high explosive portion and carrying at the opposite end thereof a converging/diverging nozzle of circular cross section and provided with a plurality of radially extending fins, intermediate its ends, of a diameter equal to that of said conical portion. A plurality of stick shaped propellant charges supported by a step shaped means disposed about said conical portion. The sticks being supported only about said conical section intermediate the nozzle and the conical portion and filling this volume. A combustible casing surrounding the propellant sticks and extending approximately between the conical portion and a blowout disc closing the open end space between the outer periphery of the nozzle and the casing.
