BootBanger™ is one of the most trusted and successfully used water-tamped explosive charges by IEDD operators worldwide. Its reputation was burnished further by the essential role it played in countering the Vehicle-Borne IED threat in Iraq. 

BootBanger™ uses a patented technology to project a jet of water which penetrates and ejects the contents of a car boot/trunk.  

Two containers, a tamper and a projectile, fit together, sandwiching the sheet explosive or detonating cord charge.  The tool is provided empty and can be loaded with explosives and water by the user.
