Back in the late '80s I designed a small EFP warhead with 7 penetrators: one in the center and 6 surrounding it in a regular hexagon. We tested it against a piece of 1" thick RHA (rolled, homogeneous armor): each penetrator (which weighed about as much as a silver doller and travelled at about 1.8 km / sec) punched a 1" hole through the armorplate; the pattern was about 15 inches corner-to-corner.

The pattern of holes was so symmetric that our machinist cut the armor into a hexagon about 1" bigger than the hole pattern, cut the company name and logo into the face of it, polished it, and installed a clock mechanism through the center hole. The remaining holes were at 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, and 12:00. Even though he hollowed out the back, it still weighed about 50 pounds.

Coolest clock ever.

There is a one partially covered by the mug. The mug has S2000 pictures on it too.
