I was back in Philly before Christmas eating breakfast in Dennys. A soldier home on leave told me about the EFP's. He said they take a shaped charge stack these copper plates on it, cover them in epoxy and before the epoxy dries roll them in dirt for camoflage.

The copper superheats and turns into a molten plasma type substance that will penetrate anything.

He didn't mention anything about Iranians though.

I did hear implications over a year ago that the shaped charges themselves were coming from Iran ... that was of course also disputed.
