According to bighead :

As I said in an earlier post, true explosives do not need any
confining at all to do their damage.


Precisely.

If you had a flat piece of C4 and scooped
out a depression in it, oddly enough that depression is where the most
damage will be done.


In fact, there's a similar trick you can play with TNT sticks. Let say
you want to punch a hole in a rock. Take three sticks of TNT and
prop them up as a "teepee" above where you want the hole. Fire all
three at once. The shock waves reinforce each other and punch a hole
straight down.


A crude 'hollow-charge',using the Monroe Effect,like RPG warheads.
