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 autonomy is respected, the two-year-old does not carry this unfinished task into later stages of growth. In adolescence, the youngster will again concentrate on independence, but he won’t have to blast the roof off the second time around if it is already well established.”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
