[Marvel Movieverse] What would the effects have been had Hammer's 'Ex-Wife' missile fired and detonated properly?

The thing was clearly trying to do something pretty impressive, how should it have worked?

Because of how Hammer described it, it seemed to be an anti-armor/bunker busting weapon. That means it is designed to rip through armor or fortifications and detonate from the inside (as opposed to detonating on impact), directing more of its energy onto the wearer/occupants.

Had it functioned correctly, it would have ripped through Vanko's armor (and perhaps his chest cavity), *then* exploded, most certainly killing him.
