A blast radius is the distance from the source that will be affected when an explosion occurs. A blast radius is often associated with, but not limited to, bombs, mines, explosive projectiles (propelled grenades), and other weapons with an explosive charge.
For instance, a 2000 pound Mk-84 bomb has a blast radius of 400 yards (365 metres).
Another example of a blast radius was Jadeveon Clowney's thundercocking of Michigan running back Vincent Smith. The impact of the assault launching Smith's helmet 15 ft through the air before bouncing at least 6 more feet away. It can be properly deduced that direct impact from pure unadulterated weapons grade nog has a blast radius of at least 21 feet (7 meters)
Famous quotes containing the word blast:
“Another hand thy sword shall wield,
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpet’s mouth is pealed
The blast of triumph o’er thy grave.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
