The disrupter (16) includes an elongated hollow barrel (18) having a cylindrical inner chamber (20), a closed rear (26) end and an opened front end (22), the latter closed with a front frangible seal (38). A channel member (46) partly surrounds an intermediate portion of the barrel, and is securely attached thereto. A pair of recoil channels (76, 78) extend from the barrel inner chamber, radially outwardly and rearwardly through the barrel and the channel member, and are linked to rearwardly oriented recoil tubes (52, 54) which have opened rear end portions (60, 62) closed with rear frangible seals (64, 66). In use, a cartridge (90) including an explosive charge (88) is to be inserted in the barrel inner chamber at its rear end, and the barrel, recoil channels and recoil tubes (52, 54) are to be filled with water. The frangible seals (38, 64, 66) prevent the water from leaking out of the disrupter while it is positioned near a bomb to be deactivated. A trigger (36) is linked to the disrupter, and more particularly to the cartridge, to remotely detonate the explosive charge. Upon the explosive charge being detonated, a portion of the water is propelled and ejected at high velocity out through the barrel front end, rupturing the front frangible seal, to puncture the bomb outer shell and deactivate the bomb inner detonating components. Another portion of the water is redirected through the side recoil channels and recoil tubes, rupturing the rear frangible seals, to be ejected rearwardly out of the disrupter. The recoil created by the detonation of the explosive charge which ejects the water through the barrel front end, is at least partially counteracted by the water being laterally and rearwardly redirected to be ejected rearwardly out through the recoil tubes. The recoil tubes have at their rear ends (60, 62) transverse blades (73, 74) for wide angle dispersal of the fluid jet being ejected rearwardly.
