FIELD: procedure of salvaging of conventional types of ammunition, applicable for opening of ammunition bodies and stripping of ammunition into fragments of explosives contained in them.

SUBSTANCE: the lines of separation are produced on the ammunition body by anode dissolution of metal in an electrolytic bath, then the ammunition body is separated into parts outside the electrolytic bath, the line of separation in the ammunition body is made through over the entire thickness of the body directly to the explosive. After a line of separation is made in the ammunition body, a liquid component is introduced in the space between the metal edges of the slot in the ammunition body reducing the hardness of the explosive contacting with it, and a blade-type indenter is introduced up to the contact with the explosive. Then the indenter together with the liquid component is introduced in the explosive by force action not causing an excess of the parameters of safe operating condition, a separation line is produced in the explosive, and separation of the ammunition into parts is performed.
