.50" Browning Cartridge electric Propelling XL1E1 EOD The cartridge used for the water disrupt

I believe your electrically fired .50 " EOD cartridge is for the .50 " EOD de-armer weapon, not for an IEDD disrupter weapon that fires water. The de-armer is essentially a steel chamber and screw threaded breech that contains the cartridge in one end and a hardened steel chisel in the other end. Before firing the loaded weapon is placed with the chisel adjacent to the fuze/shell junction of a suspected UXO. The weapon is designed to allow separation of the fuze from a UXO without having to detonate the shell. The de-armer was introduced into UK service in the late 1980s.
 
Hello Chris,
Can you explain what a water disrupt cartridge is for, I've not heard of one and saw yours in the gallery?
Many thanks,
Guy.
