I'm sure other shells can have that burst pattern, but it's typically from an air-to-air or surface-to-air missile. The "donut" pattern ensures that some of the shrapnel hits the target no matter if the missile goes under, over, or alongside the target. It's called a "continuous rod warhead" in the air-to-air stuff I used to work on.
