Don't generalise. There can be situations when people MUST use their cell on the airplane. Banning them completely isn't a solution. That pico cell thing sounds like it could work well. Especially since cellphones use only enough power to connect properly to the nearest tower (less wattage = less radiation interfering with SETI sites 100s of miles away).
Never said Blast warheads were used in anti-tank shells. But they're used in Arty shells. Rarely. But still used. Fragmentation warheads are most often used in arty shells.
Anti tank shells are almost certainly shaped charges.
You would want a shaped charge if you wanted to DESTROY the tank as opposed to punching a hole through it (and hoping something explosive or inflammable lies in the shell's path).
As for an arty shell, you would definitely need a lot of HE since the kill radius has to be large.
I doubt it will find use as an arty gun. Shells leaving the earth's gravitational pull would not exactly suit the purpose would it?

Yes, but for an arty gun, a 20 kg shell is peanuts. You won't be able to fit enough HE into it to make it effective. It could go into a tank though. A shaped charge warhead needs considerably less HE than a frag warhead or a blast warhead (used by arty guns).
From a more size-constrained land tactical platform it would be expected to have a muzzle energy of 20 MJ; a muzzle velocity of 1,400 m/s and an impact velocity of 700 m/s out to ranges in excess of 100 km.
*Whips out his trusty old calculator
E=0.5 * M * V * V
Where E = 20 MJ
M = ?
V = 1400 m / s
M = 20 Kg (What the fuck?)
The momentum then becomes...
I = M * V
I = 28000 Kg m/s
Considering a 75 Kg (165 lbs) man firing this gun..
His velocity according to the law of conservation of momentum becomes...
Vo = 373.33 m / s
Wow!! Now they can truly call themselves supermen... because they're gonna fly
But seeing the mass of the projectile, I suppose this is some sort of light artillery in which case it will dig itself into the ground once fired and will require 50 stout men to dig it out.
So someone or something on Mars has a seriously flatulent nature. Leave the poor thing in peace. Isn't it enough that it's on mars and not here amongst us? Must we make fun of every flatulent person / thing? I'm sure the poor thing feels like the guy who farts in a swimming pool just to have everyone else point and laugh at the bubbles miraculously appearing from his ass. I say this persecution must stop, Someone on Mars farted, And now ET worshippers are broken hearted, It turns out 'twas only a rock.

Actually, I've been like that. I've been extremely good at everything I've tried my hand at - sports and academics, programming, managing, military (well, getting into Officer school). It's just that once I got past the initial learning curve, I found everything un-inspiring / unchallenging. So now I'm going to try something that gets me a lot of money so I can go fly my own plane.
It's not fear. I've tried everything. Careers as a software engineer, Army officer and Manager. It's just that I didn't find any of them a great challenge.
Compare the past records of the US, Great Britain, Germany, France (in Africa and East Asia), China, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and then try saying "I guess that's why Linux is so suitable in India, long a home to every kind of zealot ever found on Earth" with a straight face.

$30,000 equals INR 12,90,000 (for the time being. Let's wait for the Yuan to be revalued. Then it'll be worth a lot less INR) That's about as much a Team Leader / Project Manager with 5 to 8 years of experience will make per year. With INR 12,90,000 per year, you could live extremely comfortably in India.
Education? A Bachelor of Engineering course (4 years) will set you back Rs. 2,00,000 in the best institutes. That's approximately $4,500.
So please don't crib if education costs a fortune in your country.
You people should really consider outsourcing the management of your elections to the Indians. Given the massive amount of votes they manage to get in (and the fact that most problems are dealt with by countermanding and reholding elections), it makes sense to let them conduct your elections.
You can't make a shaped charge like that. It has to be homogeneous and it has to be solid.

If you try to make it from many different masses (as your post seems to say), then the energy developed will bleed away through the gaps making it highly inefficient (and maybe useless).

A division?
I think maybe a company or at most a battalion would be enough.
That's the country you are looking at. Chopping hands off is not legal in India. It is a form of legal punishment in Saudi Arabia.
Hmm ...
Completely forgotten about those.
Thanks.
Although a couple of grenades down the hatch do the job the best, I'd say.

Shouldn't India be worrying about more important things like reducing the population, and feeding it?
How exactly do you reduce a country's population? Extermination? Emigration?

Seriously, who are you to pass judgement to the effect that the child was as good as dead and emergency services would have been useless?
Doctors with 20 years of experience can't make statements like that. How can you?
