The machining characteristics are supposed to be very trickly. Not so
hard if you get an exact template, but you're up to some serious quality
control issues. The degree of tolerances are FAR less flexible than they
are for traditional shaped charges. An EFP will not have as effective of
performance in depth of armor penetrated than an equivalent shaped
charge.

Funny thing is I keep wanting to say Holtzman Effect when I think of the
shaped charge/EFP, which is of course the Monroe effect. That is
obviously wrong but still funny I think.
