This invention relates to a device for accurately delivering a ballistically stable, monolothic projectile at repeatable velocities to a specified target using an explosive event without causing deformation or fragmentation of the projectile. In its most preferred embodiment, the invention will deliver a projectile using an explosive event without substantial deformation or altering of the geometric shape of the projectile. This invention was specifically developed as a preferred device to render safe the firing train of the fuze mechanism of unexploded ordnance (UXO) to dispose of the UXO more safely.
