You are wrong about the wire - the nosecone is a three-layer sandwich, forming the circuit. That's why the chain-link works; it shorts the inner and outer layers, and grounds the charge.

Every PG-7 I've taken apart has a Piezio point switch with the flat wire running to the base det of the shape charge. It don't detonate at the point. Please splain again what yer talking about....?
