A projectile including a reactive composition is disclosed. The reactive composition includes at least one fuel comprising a titanium-boron composite, at least one oxidizer, and at least one metal hydride. When the projectile penetrates through a surface of a target having a volume of 0.2 m3, the reactive composition is configured to cause, behind the surface of the target, at least one of an overpressure of greater than 36 pounds per square inch (psi) or an incendiary effect duration of greater than 70 milliseconds. The reactive composition may be configured to partially or entirely surround a pin or penetrator. The projectile may lack a pin or penetrator, and the reactive composition is contained within a metal tube or cup configured to travel toward, within, and / or behind a surface of the target, wherein the process produces a punch out from the target, thereby acting as a second projectile, which enhances lethality.

A method for forming a wall panel may involve arranging at least first and second spacers on a first outer wood layer, with an adhesive being disposed between the first outer wood layer and the first and second spacers, so that a gap is formed between the first and second spacers. Pressure of least fifty pounds per square inch (psi) may be applied to the first outer wood layer to cause formation of a tight bond between the first outer wood layer and the first and second spacers as the adhesive at least partially cures.
