From: "Adam Flinton" 

Most use proximity fuses rather than direct hit with the exception of the
Star Streak which uses a bundle of 3 darts (flying in formation). These
darts mostly rely on their kinetic energy but have a small charge in each
dart. Good example of beating small charge + proximity fuse was the use of
long tail pipes to defeat the Sam7.
