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:
“When the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
