The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas well through-tubing perforation operation, in particular to a chain-type body-free perforator. The chain-type body-free perforator includesat least one bullet holder, wherein perforating bullets are installed on the bullet holders, the perforating bullets comprise shell bodies and shell covers, the shell bodies are connected with the shell covers to form bullet shells with sealed inner cavities, the inner cavities of the bullet shells are filled with explosives, and the explosives are compacted through shaped charge liners installedin the inner cavities of the bullet shells. The chain-type body-free perforator has the beneficial effects that the structures of the bullet shells are simple, disassembly and assembly are convenient,end face sealing is carried out by the shell covers, connection and sealing of the shell bodies and the shell covers are realized through extrusion deformation force between the shell bodies and theshell covers, and performance is reliable; the independent bullet holders serve as carriers of the perforating bullets, the number and the phase position of the perforating bullets are flexibly set conveniently according to needs, all the bullet holders are arranged independently and are not prone to being clamped in casing pipes, moreover, the bullet holders can be broken into fine particles completely after perforation of the perforating bullets, after perforation is finished, the bullet holders do not need to be taken out again, occurrence of the well jamming accident is avoided, and safetyperformance is improved.
