Munitions - HESH
HESH stands for High Explosive Squash Head.  HESH is its British name, and it is usually referred to in the United States as HEP: High Explosive Plastic.  It refers to a warhead containing a soft, malleable high explosive payload which splats against its target and flattens itself onto its surface before detonating.  This has some interesting effects and uses.
