Dunnite
(redirected from Ammonium picrate)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Dunnite

US high explosive named after Major Dunn, its developer; also called ‘Explosive D’. Made of ammonium picrate powder, it was relatively insensitive, and so was widely used in armour-piercing shells as it withstood the shock of impact against armour without detonating, allowing the shell to pierce the armour before the fuse initiated the explosive.
