Interesting that they don't identify the supplier of EFP's in Iraq. I wonder why they didn't name Iran as the major supplier of these weapons? Enquiring minds want to know.

An EFP is a copper warhead that, once detonated, is superheated, turning it into a molten projectile that can punch through almost anything — including M1 Abrams tanks and MRAPs. They are usually designed to be triggered by motion, remotely, or via pressure switches like other types of IEDs.

Reminds me of a Pvt Murphy cartoon years ago. CO's briefing the unit on EFPs. All the lower enlisted have the new guy worried look, and SGTs Murphy and Blackwell are chillaxing and Murphy retorts, "And let me get this straight: we're gonna drive in Humvees, right?!"

Those EFP's are real attention getters.
