In warfare, high-explosive incendiary (HEI) is a type of ammunition specially designed to impart energy and therefore damage to its target in one or both of two ways: via a high-explosive charge and/or via its incendiary (fire-causing) effects. Each round has both capabilities.
This takes the incendiary material and about 20 steel fragments (created by the explosives), delivering them in a 25–30 degree cone through the armor, increasing lethality. [3] The triggering of the explosive charge is dependent upon the resistance of the target.
The round includes a high explosive and incendiary component and can also defeat light armor (hence its multi-purpose designation). [1] The self-destruct feature engages at approximately 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) [2] and destroys the round, preventing it from falling back to earth and inflicting damage to the surrounding territory.

Some explosive projectiles, such as high-explosive incendiary bullets, contain an incendiary charge intended to ignite explosives within the shell. [9] Although not intended to start fires, tracer bullets can have a mild incendiary effect. This is particularly dangerous when they strike flammable substances or dry brush.
A shaped charge is an explosive charge shaped to focus the effect of the explosive's energy. Different types of shaped charges are used for various purposes such as cutting and forming metal, initiating nuclear weapons , penetrating armor , or perforating wells in the oil and gas industry .
